The Idea of Being Depressed

Is it possible that the generation today consists of mostly depressed teens/young adults or are they just literally obsessed of the idea of being depressed? I grew up to 100 x 100 photobucket avatars of pictures of girls with sayings like "never let go" or "girls just want to have fun" in times new roman font, you know the ones with 1inch stroke outline and an overlay of vertical lined pattern with opacity of probably 20%, no? Nevermind. Anyway, seeing how I am 19 now, things haven't changed much. All I see on tumblr is either pictures of sex or people being depressed. It's like these people are waiting for prince charming or fukin cinederella to come save them, it's like every day is another day of hope of being saved, it's like you don't even try to find happiness on your own. It's like you associate the word single to being lonely.

Truth is, you could be surrounded by a group of people and still feel lonely as fuck because if you can't find happiness within yourself, then how do you expect another person or object will be able to give you happiness? Sure you feel distracted for a while, being infatuated or in love with the person/object then trust me, after a while, it feels like you're stuck and you have no idea what's going on, and you start to wonder about other possibilities, and your relationship begins to suck and you just begin to suck in everything else that you do. It's like every day you go on thinking wow my life sucks, wow I have no friends, wow I'm ugly, wow I'm shit. No one wants to go around listening to negativity. 

Wake up, it's 2013. Being needy and "hoping to be saved" isn't going to cut out. Start being grateful for what you have, don't give me this "I've been through a lot" bullshit, unless you are a survivor of cancer, or you fought for your country, then don't you even dare say "I've been through a lot". Fuck being selfish, our parents probably have the shittiest marriage and maybe some of us come from broken homes, probably not the wealthiest family, but why should this be a reason for you to be depressed, you were born alone, what makes you think you wouldn't die alone? It's called challenges, don't be a pussy and tell the whole world how sad and depressed you are. What gives you the right to bring down other people with whatever that is going through in your life. Man up and fight.

You may think I'm a pessimist or in today's slang, a "hater". I'm not. I just feel annoyed that our generation is obsessed with nothing but the idea of hope, it's like we don't even bother to give it a shot. It's like we give up before we even try. Sure we wear make up, bally shoes, or aldo, whatever, suits and ties, you groom your hair and shit like that, you can look like Lord DiSick or Audrey Hepburn for all I care, but if you act like a sad 14 year old, then what do you have to offer to this world or even your family. This is reality. Come on now.
