I remember caring like hell about the earth, even trying to do things, that was considered about as threatening as the trans movement is to the same people now.

I fucking love millenials, they were so perfectly curious and interested, they learned things. There might have been millennial assholes, but I respected them because they seemed to be assholes because they cared and were idealistic, which is a perfectly reasonable way to be an asshole to me.

I feel the hell out of that.

It's part of why I married a millennial lol. Which sounds like an old school b movie. The horror! "I MARRIED A MILLENNIAL AND BARELY ESCAPED WITH MY SOUL!"

But yeah, that extra sense of caring, that seems to keep going up, even with all the anxiety and uncertainty the younger set has. They aren't afraid to help people, to reach out. Not saying everyone, but it's a lot different than when I was a kid, or a teen, or a young man.

It gives me hope, despite being a cynical old fart.

They genuinely don't belong in the world we were born in, they ... are too fucking human.

We had to fight, for what came so noturally to them, makes my heart weep;
