As a teen, I do feel like especially within 2025. The world moved way too fast for even me to catch up (well I caught up fine but got burnt out trying to follow geopolitics because I used to like geopolitics before hand)

Maybe Ignorance is bliss.

One of the issues I feel right now with my generation and myself included is that we feel powerless. I truly feel like politics can be better not just in any one country but world-wide. Politics can be over accepting that a lot of economical things have changed from the past and the things working within past weren't built on sustainable practices which have come to bite us now & that's okay. Together we can all concess on a lot of our wants to satisfy the needs of the people. I really don't know & I really don't want to pretend that I know :/

Really feels like shouting in the void sometimes and quite frankly right now too. Just gotta focus on yourself because at the end of the day, to me it feels like noones gonna come to save us. Perhaps we just have to work with some unjust-ness within the system and accept it as is to hopefully get power to influence. But power corrupts :/ AGGH

A lot of my frustrations come from the fact that I feel as if past was unsustainable & now the present a lot of problems feel distractions to the bottom line economical issue. That's okay but we can work together to fix it rather than having our politics be a distraction almost like a circus because at the end of the day, its my generation which is gonna suffer the most whether its in higher unaffordability of housing world-wide or the fearing towards job safety.
