A Generation That Should Take Responsibility

We are a generation of broken people. A generation filled with the venom of brokenness, sadness, loss and unfulfillment. A lot of these, comes as a result of what we have gone through. Either because we brought it upon ourselves or someone, somehow, intentionally or unintentionally inflicted it upon us. The essential point here is that - however we choose to live after these experiences, is entirely up to us, and we should take responsibility for how we live.

Our brokenness has marred some aspects of our lives so much that it has caused a lot of relationships not to work. We have fallen consciously or unconsciously with people who have refused to give up, let go off the past and lay their personal experiences to rest. A generation of people who can’t let go their exes. A generation of people who has found it difficult to accept their fate, move on with their lives and try to make their new relationship a meaningful and happy one. It is perfectly okay not to force anything especially with regards to healing because of course, people heal differently and at varying pace but when you think carefully about it, not letting go, only increases the magnitude of broken people.

We are a generation suffering insecurities we didn’t create, we are stuck at trying to gain acceptance from people who are not yet over their past lives, people whom to them, and we are only some kind of rebound to prove to our exes that we are capable of smiling again without them. We are a generation with so much pain and untold stories hiding behind expensive phones, luxury cars, beautiful clothes, and the comfort of a home, but deep down, we are sad, miserable and full of fear and uncertainty. Unfortunately, we can’t apologize for this part of our lives that seems so messy, we can’t keep up with this part of us that seems wounded, damaged and traumatized, no matter how we try, it would be time’s waste to patch up from the same things that tore us up. But at a second thought, it is still entirely up to us.

We are a generation that destructively criticize other sexuality because it’s not a lifestyle that we cherish, forgetting that no one needs approval to live how one wants. A generation that condemns the wrong of others and are quick to throw stones, but deep down, we are no worse than the devil’s advocate. A generation where young girls are seen as the devils and young men excited about tearing down the wall of happy marriages. A generation where love, peace, faith has lost its essence and meaning. We are a generation of ticking time bomb waiting to wreak havoc.

In the end, it’s all our call to confront the choices we have made and take responsibility, for that is the only path to inner peace. It’s up to us to admit that we have been maimed, broken and traumatized but certainly, a comeback is possible. We can be restored, we can set things straight and make it right. It’s our call to stop being melancholy over and over. It’s our choice to let go and allow ourselves some time to heal, regain strength and breathe again deeply. I hope that today, we finally become a generation that takes responsibility and set things right.

Have a splendid day folks.
