I am Gen X.
I will not apologize for it nor will I sugar coat my take on the world.
Y'all need some plain speak, common sense, and down-right boot in your butt verbiage.
You can't scare me.
You can't impress me.
You can't buy my opinion.
If you agree with what I say, hooray for us both.
If you don't, I don't care unless your viewpoint is valid to me.
For the record, your feelings and opinions about what I write are valid to you, but may not be for me.
My feelings and opinions are the ones that matter here otherwise this would be your blog; and Gen X was raised mostly without feelings. We are the first generation that got away with eye-rolling and we fairly ooze contempt and disdain for your feelings.
We were trained that for feelings to matter there needed to be copious amounts of blood and death should be imminent. That's really the only time, and even then, don't be all dramatic about it.
S0, if I offend you or hurt your feelings I really don't care. Do you feel strongly about it? Then don't recommend me to others. And if you're under 20, get some life experience and come back and read me in 10-20 years. You're entirely too young to recognize my wisdom and the way our society is going, you may not survive to understand it anyway. Do us both a favor and just walk away.
In a slight break from Gen X customs, I'm attempting to keep my vibration high (I'm human, I don't always manage to do so), so I have recently learned the value of not cussing (I'm an ever evolving creature). That said, I have spent many, many, many years letting my "true vulgarian"* fly loud and proud, so while the posts may (may) not have swear words, I cannot attest to the reader submitted comments. I will not remove comments for swear words. Read those at your own risk if they bother you.
Vibrationally, it needs to be clarified that high vibration doesn't mean passively allowing what I see as wrong to be glossed over or go unaddressed. I was given the gift of discernment (and born Gen X) for a reason. When I do have a healthy case of righteous indignation I will mix it up if you poke this bear. Don't 'comment-spar' if you can't handle being punched back.
Gen X, baby. Rouse us enough to give a damn and speak up; we will make you cry... for years... in therapy... and have no compunction about saying it nor any concern about you took it.
Fair Warning and Happy Reading!
