kids born 2003 (me)

trained their whole life for the future
- future arrived as a global patch update
tutorial phase: 2008 recession
main quest: COVID-19
side quests: war headlines, inflation, layoffs
graduated into:
-entry level” jobs requiring 5 years experience
-rent priced like it’s a luxury NFT
-just start a business bro” economy
we learned:
-how to mute ourselves on Zoom
-how to smile while panicking
-how to network through WiFi
now it’s:
- survive the algorithm
- compete with ChatGPT
- build a brand or be invisible
no childhood.
no stability.
just vibes and version updates.
but somehow…
still standing.
still building.
still delusional enough to believe we’ll win.
and that’s the scariest part
