My sister sent me this and boy do I feel this in my bones. My 50+ bones.

I learned why we are always ignored

I was at a leadership conference and one
of the speakers was talking about
generational strife. And she talked to/
about the boomers, and then the
millennials, and then the zoomers. And
then she said, "Gen X, I didn't forget you,
even if the rest of the world has. But I have
no advice for you. For a few reasons. First,
you don't need it. You are the most
independent and self-sufficient generation
in the history of mankind and there is
literally nothing I can teach you. Second,
even if I did have something to tell you, you
wouldn't care. Third, the reason we ignore
you is because the rest of us are all
terrified of you. If the zombie apocalypse
ever happens, we are all hiding behind you.
Somehow, you'll know what to do."
