The "Forgotten Generation" Needs Self-Care
GenX,
your brain is not an egg. 🥚

There are very good reasons “Generation-X” is considered independent, resilient, and hard working…
We raised ourselves. Then we raised our siblings. And, some even went on to raise their parents. Those parents, drunk on hypocrisy, who tried to convince us an egg was our brain. Is it any wonder we stopped listening to what we were told, stopped believing what we were taught?
And, we did it while employed! Most of us began working for our independence earlier than was legal. (And Xers will likely continue working longer than anyone wants, as well.)
It was the 80s. Who was going to care?
Considered ‘The Middle Child’ of generations, GenX feelings and emotions were never important. There was never any time for that.
The Boomers were too busy rebelling from (then abandoning) The Greatest Generation to notice the wounds we silently scabbed over. They were too busy reinventing the world they inherited, without foresight into their own legacy. They over-committed to technology and finance while indulging every entertaining whim.
They desperately tried to prove their youth hadn’t been wasted while ignoring we had any rights to our own.

GenX is currently at that mid-stage of caring. According to Forbes, roughly half of GenXers simultaneously financially support both a parent and a child.
33-35* Million stressed-out humans isn’t a good thing, universally!
They used to call us Slackers now they call us Karens. We grew up being told to “Just Get Over It” and “Winning Is Its Own Reward”.
The only participation trophies we received were the scabs on our knees from grabbing our bikes and freely exploring our existence. We roamed feral and free. We adventured without supervision.
We are the survivors!
We survived backseats without seatbelts, rusty metal slides, and gravel pits under our monkey-bars. We survived, against all odds, while nobody was paying attention.
Another unspoken sadness, so many in our generation carry. The burden of how many friends we lost, much too soon. The reality is, helmets are required for a reason. It makes sense parents overly corrected into being suffocatingly protective and too involved, after we made it through to the other side.
So, where does that leave us? Here in the now? Without any guidance, being expected yet again to take the reigns and lead. Everyone is waiting, hoping outright. For a more balanced generational healing to ripple through all space and time, before we hear:
“Game Over.”
Feel stuck, uninspired, or disconnected?

(*) Our Generation has a tendency to melt into the ones we are sandwiched between. This speaks volumes about the disconnection and lack of support most born between the ‘mid-sixties’ to ‘early eighties’ silently face.
