The changing of "it" hasn't served any of my generation well at all.
We spent our whole childhoods being promised "it" - being told that if you were honest, and good, and hardworking, and always tried your best you would get all the wonderful things your parents and grandparents got to enjoy. You'd get "it".
"It" was a nice girl who genuinely loved you.
"It" was raising a couple of beautiful little kids
"It" was finding an honest job you could support your family on
"It" was affording a nice home in a decent neighborhood
"It" was being recognized for all your hard work
We were promised "it". Hell some of us spent our whole adolescences looking forward to the days when we'd become adults and start working towards "it". But now we're old, alone, in debt, working thankless jobs, and with each passing day we realize more and more that we don't get "it". We aren't going to get "it". And so now they're changing what "it" is and telling us "it" will be even better than what we wanted.
Now "it"s casual hookups and anonymous sex
Now "it"s living the single life and investing in yourself
Now "it"s working a crappy job you've got no stake in
Now "it"s a studio apartment in the hip part of town
Now "it"s getting likes and comments online
I used to want "it", but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I want isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.
... it'll happen to you.
