Here I am again, all dressed up and nowhere to go. Asking my parents, the boomers, over the last couple of years for help. Coming to them with my problems, for the first time in my adult life. Being honest with them. As a kid, they would sometimes be "passive-aggressive and avoidant in spite of (their) best intentions." (Salon.com, Heather Havrilesky). I'm college educated and have never had a problem getting work and making a comfortable income. And now our country hasn't felt it this bad since the 1930's.
Considering what comes out of times like these; people become resourceful. The Xers "are far from over ...citing Gen-X icons like Quentin Tarantino and Jon Stewart, along with Gen-X triumphs like Google, YouTube, and Amazon, among others ... they might be the most unsung and influential generation of all time." (Time.com - M.J. Stephey)
Keeping our radar in tune has been our claim to fame. As part of the Xers, I've been given an opprtunity to find the balance between the past and the future.
