Crowded in an empty place

Pitch an opinion 
I'd love to vent my anger on this so called 'golden century', from the posts about 'where are all the millennial babies at?" to all the Reddit posts about humiliating the abilities of different people from different generations. At first we laugh along-side but the insults do hit deep. Not everyone who is born after 2000 is a mess, we are indeed cleaning up messes the previous generations left us with. They say we don't communicate, that we are on our phones 24/7 - guess who is fighting to save Amazon forest by establishing online campaigns and making an effort to collect signatures for petitions? They say we aren't creative because we are not using our brains, but why do we have better pass rates than you do? Why do they say that we don't think ahead but we exhaust ourselves for beach clean-ups? How do you dare to say that our lives are a complete waste - We have more equality and freedom for education. I live in a society where a girl is allowed to look more than pretty and a boy is encouraged to become more than a breadwinner. We have multiple purposes, and don't take it out on us if any of you all never got that chance to be in an open society.

We are judged less for liking a person from the same gender. we are judged less for not exactly studying and graduating. It's okay not to be involved in politics or battle against religions saying your's is the best. 21st century has given us opportunities, to grow and to nurture, it's not meant to be criticized. Every era has it's ups and downs but we fail to look at the bright side.

Wait what? really? I'm being unfair now? I never said the presence is perfect. We spend money on obnoxious things and call it a phone. We have crazy high standards, define love from movies and take most things for granted. There, we are twisted as well.

But at least we don't have to undergo economic recession and credit crunches and hide from wars like some of you all did, so there's always things to be grateful about :)

Blood on my hands.

I've been keeping this under drafts for 3 months. I've been typing, deleting, almost sad about how I'm unable to get this out to the public before the story dies.  In reality, every story dies.   I have had a long break for writing. I took no or little effort to reflect on most things that's happening because of two reasons. One is, I have simply lost count on incidences. I get lost mid-way in the research, find something mildly less of a hassle to handle. Secondly, all cases are likely to be replaced with something else.  I want to talk about Afghanistan . I want to bring back the story of Israel-Palestine. I want to talk about Sri Lankan murder fiascos (I mean why not because there's heck of a lot), but the truth is that the shelf-life of each story is too short for anyone to react to it. I have been slacking off and brushing every story under the carpet and I'm not proud of it. Writers need to be independent beings. Practice your autonomy. We don't have p...

Do not take the internet more seriously than racism.

Thanks to the continuous scrolling, I came across an interesting post. Must say that this was a total coincidence given that the post was at least a month or so old.  It was shared by one of my friends on Facebook and all due credits should go to him for actually stepping up, confronting this woman and posting this on his feed to let us remind about what rubbish we have to surround ourselves on social media. Even though I have blurred the names in the comments section of the above screen shot, can we for a second silently acknowledge who the antagonist here is?  I am not defending any of the religions here. I'd actually do something better with what I have to say rather than fueling hypocrisy that drains my brain.     The long story short, my friend had merely commented a ' sad reaction ' on one of her posts on Facebook, which according to her knowledge deserved a ' laugh reaction ' as we could assume. This is almost immature and obviously ignorant. We have been...

Are ya ready kids?

Believe me when I say,,, Spongebob : 'What if I break your trust someday? Patrick : Trusting you is my decision, proving me wrong is your choice.' Surface There is something about trust. It's not what everyone defines it as. In fact it has no specific meaning. 'Trust' is a prodigious word, to us it meant keeping secrets, guarding one another, defending somebody when they do wrong what not. That's basically 'trust' in a nutshell when we were kids; but correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like there's a vast meaning behind, and we are just touching the surface of an ice-burg that has more depth.  Digging deep, I understood that trust began with family, passed on to those who you're close with, friends, even strangers who are overly extroverted. So trust has nothing to do with secrets. How many of y'all were challenged to say the truth at all the dare games? Haven't you ever, and by this I mean EVER been in a situation where you ...
