>>40592632 (OP)Life is either really boring or really painful.. <- I love how out of all places, it was made clear to me when i was watching the "Sopranos"... you can really put a narrative anywhere and make it make sense if you're dedicated..
Recently i have been experiencing bursts of dissapointment and hopelessness when it comes to fitting in. The culture, the words and the mannerisms that i have nurtured; the same ones i have grown accustomed to, the ones that were slightly molded into my personality; are being neglected and replaced because they're old and redundant, completely unrecognized by the influx of people who are younger than me, the groups of rational people that i talked to in the past have moved on to do better things, and i am slowly becoming the one left behind, left to rot with the younger generation as they converse and discuss things that are viewed as ""inferior"" by my mind lead by my ego (it's not entirely wrong to acknowledge the things you know are mostly true, even when they sound a little narcissistic). You can only talk so much with younger people before it rubs off on you, the experiences you've lived through are irrelevant to people who don't share the same perception of the world as you, it is a reason why old people in my day viewed us as ungrateful gullible pricks and why they were rude to us.
The world doesn't end on me or any other generation, in the end it is me who has to change, to adapt, to get rid of the old cocoon i have grown to love, to be flexible and free, I don't like showing off, to brag, to grow dependent on people's opinion and judgement, Even if adapting to something that i know is showing-off is bad, it shouldn't concern me and i should roll with it all, and i doubt it concerns others (Am i going to slowly walk into a pit of flames knowing that i'll get burned? just because i find it hard to not worry about the flames? Just because others know well to not worry about the flames? Just because 'others' like the flames?)
