Generation

There are things which hold us together: The man-buns, the memes, the ice-bucket challenge. We are a generation no less confused by life than any other. We are a fearful generation, afraid to leave the lifelines that are our phones, terrified of venturing beyond what is socially acceptable. We are a sad generation, living in the world of an economic crisis, a war on terror, and a climate disaster. We smile in our endless stream of selfies but when given the anonymity of tumblr or yik yak we cry out for help - wishing that the multitude of invisible internet users will be more supportive than the shallow relationships which we are surrounded by in the real world. And all we have to save us is the sneezing baby panda.
