I did something important for myself today. I went and got myself a NES Classic Edition. I know it doesn't seem very important. But it was. I went early and sat for three hours with other people who were just as excited as I was about this. That was important. Doing it myself. Going alone. While in this line, I had people around me talking about my generation in way less than flattering light. They talked about Trump. They talked about Hilary going to jail. They talked about Obama going to jail. I promise I'm not going to get super political. I heard what they were saying. I disagreed with most of it. Almost all of it about my generation (why do people hate on millennials so much?). I was a little insulted by the bit about my generation, honestly. And my nerves are raw about it after reading very similar sentiments on Facebook. Which I have also just scrolled past. I didn't say anything during all this talk. Kept my mouth shut. And I was proud of myself. I was second in line and got there at 7. The guy who was first got there at 6. We were talking about getting up early. And he said "these millennials would never get up so early!" And I very politely said "I'm a millennial." He was very quiet about his complaints about my generation after that. My main goal in life is to love everyone. I want to love my neighbor as myself. And I love trump supporters too. They are not all horrible people. I don't think anyone is innately horrible. And these guys were funny and extroverted and highly entertaining. And I was grateful when they got off of politics. I did something important today. I was reminded not to stereotype people. And I am pretty sure I reminded someone else not to stereotype too. Everyone, everything and every topic has nuance. Nothing is black and white. And we run into most problems when we see things in black and white. And assume they have to be. Life is colorful. So are people and opinions. And I love that about people. And I want to learn to be better to people. And I hope I can help people learn to be better to each other too.
