so for a long time (while I was not definitively in the camp of “people who are currently experiencing success”) I was like “oh hey I can brag about my progress on the internet!” it sort of went hand-in-hand with complaining about the shitty parts of life. par for the course.

and now I’m like… well shit, is all of this privilege? did I work for this or did I get lucky? do I get to talk about this or is it just bragging because of the resources I have access to?

it’s disorienting. I still feel like a millenial struggling with so many of the same things my generation struggles with, but then I have days like today and I’m like shit, I can’t talk about this “big adult moment” because I’m “successful” and therefore it’s just bragging and shoving my privilege down others’ throats.

(I may have talked about this before. it’s in my head on a regular basis. sigh.)
