It must be lived

I talk to GenZ all the time and they are stressed out. They look younger than their age because of the lack of physical toil that their ancestors lived with. However, the mental anguish they experience is much worse. Even a recent chat with a colleague who is 40 revealed that he needs therapy for his stress as he juggles work and family demands.

I was recently talking with a barista my daughter's age who told me "people are less happy today with social media and the hectic pace we lead" and I couldn't help but think "from the mouth of babes".

I told her to get off everything and live life on her terms ignoring all opinion around her. She was so happy to have chatted with me and I confidently could say the same. She was so sweet.

If only I could transfer what I know now to them but life must be lived.
