And it's nice to be able to have that camaraderie.

Yeah, or just feel like you are alone in it, have no one to talk to among your peers, you know.

And so that, I don't know, that sounded good to me.

I mean, I almost don't want to think about it because it's so dark.

Yeah, that's kind of where I was going with it in my mind.

I mean, I don't know.

I definitely don't have any of the financial stability markers that my parents did at my age or even that some of my peers have.

But that's because of choices that I've made, such as living in the most expensive city in the world for my entire adult life.

I chose that.

I own that.

I don't own anything else, literally.

We are so used to things collapsing around us and to not having certainty and to not having stability.

We have really been forced to roll with the punches.

And most of us, I mean, hopefully have developed a kind of resilience that I think will really serve us well with whatever is to come in our own bodies, in our own minds and in the world around us.

Maybe the making huge generalizations about people who were born over a 10 year period of time is just like not an exact science.

I do think that it depends on the day, you know, like we all have both of those wolves living inside us.

I mean, clearly, clearly it's healthier to accept the inevitable dimming of your dewy glow.

But at the same time, it's like, I'll get back to you in 10 more years when I'm 55, and we'll see how I'm feeling about all of this stuff when I'm, like, actually older.

I mean, staying optimistic is...

It's hard.
