Business strategist and psychologist Don Tapscott coined the term "Net Generation" for Generation y (individuals born from 1983 to 1997), pointing at the significance of being the first to grow up immersed in a digital and Internet driven world.
We are all so connected and yet we feel more alone than before.
I think Hank in Californication sums it up quite well. "At the edge of western civilization, all of us are so desperate to feel something, anything that we keep falling into each other and fucking our ways to the end of the day."
Frankly, most of us are lost. We distract ourselves with booze, sex, TV series...anything that would temporarily shut our 'self' down. We dont want to be told that we are wandering endlessly in cycle of feeling awesome-> good-> lost- depressed....etc
Do what you love now, be crazy about everything, be grateful with all you have.
Be the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
Jack Kerouac
We are young and everyday is an opportunity for us to celebrate life.
Live and Let Live.
