Generation Z, I have hope for. I work with a lot of kids in GenZ (all online), mostly because they find me and I'm an entertainer / educator / whatever online. I don't follow an agenda really. I do stuff online. They're entertained or feel smarter. Then they follow me. So I'm like, "Dang it, now I have to do *more* of being myself?" and so I just keep doing that. I give a lot of like emoticon and praise for creativity, limit constructive criticism for when someone REALLY wants it (and that's rare - most people want encouragement, NOT criticism, constructive or otherwise). and so I feel like i'm doing my part to help. == Thank you for the like -* I don't talk about it much - I just do it - but getting a like is awesome validation for me. I never feel like I do enough, so I keep pushing ahead. = If one person feels they're worthwhile to the planet because of me being there or saying something, even if I never get to find out, my existence is validated. =
