Ok let me just say I’m a GenZ and based on what i experienced all Gen X does is lie, gaslight and manipulate the truth or can’t say the truth at all. Yall can’t handle conversations and it leads to a very frustrating experience

Even person older than me. My best explanation is ppl born between “genx-millennial” has lied to me and kept the truth from me. Angry if a I call out a lie or made they can’t hear the truth.

Let me start by saying is I nearly unalived myself due to this. I was kept away from so much isolated lied to as if I didn’t know anything. Conversation became feeling sorry for my emotions or sorry for making a connection. It was made to be I need to stay in a kids place but as an adult it became me attacking and being argumentative.

Idk my family history my family immigrated from Jamaica to NY in 1995 I was born in 02. I don’t even know my grandma childhood or how she was as a kids and she died at 59 when I wasn’t even 13 yet.

Let me bring up a specific scenario. 9/11 i remember a specific object. Made of crystal we had on the coffee table. Idk what it was or if it was real but this would be before I was 4 years old but older than 2. My uncle remembers but doesn’t know what it was I know he does. He told he don’t know why I’m asking about it. My mother said I remember a lot but she doesn’t remember it. My aunt flat out says she don’t remember.

I ask my friend who’s older 54 i absolutely can’t asked about anything prior to what I was born. Every store he tells me all the same stories. I mentioned 9/11 but he doesn’t like to talk about cause he lost a lot of ppl. I understood of course but everything else is given the same reason. I only ask and make this post because although I was born in 02 that was thee major event in which my history started. I’m not going to get to know my history in Jamaica cause my mother and aunt and uncle don’t remember

And other older Gen X also don’t like talking about the past.

But let me say. Y’all have a such a deep intricate and painful history that is sorrowful and hurtful to remember but is so important to know exactly what occurred during your generation life that you all had to live through.

Like I donged on how was boarding a plane different before 9/11 compared to the norm. Cause checked bags shoes off no hats is Gen Z norm.

9/11 only got me thinking because of the timeline I only heard about it in 7th grade and that made me think. Did I even know they existed before that date???

Gen X are our parents while this was going on Places getting bombed constantly after the war in Afghanistan it’s like I lived a personally bad but a norm childhood. I went to school had recess played made school friends. Been on a plane that I don’t remember but very recently after being born. All those bad things happened and you guys had to lie to keep our innocence to shield us from the terrible world we live in. You guys lie but I don’t blame any of you. We thank thank you for yall efforts yall tenacity and resilience.

You guys lived through sooooo many experiences the way I view it is baby boomers are the war babies. Genx is the post war babies. Millennial and Gen Z are rhe recovery of that.

But as an older Gen Z we aren’t kids any more tell us you history your memories because they deserve to be heard and we want to hear them. Not only to learn but to heal our trauma to understand you all and to heal your trauma and feelings and everything have you guys be heard and everything you all bottled in out.

I wrote this post in a rush I only have 2 percent left but pls this wasn’t a post to attack this was a thank you post and post to let you all know that we, and I want to what yall stories to the fullest extent.
