10 Dangers From A Gen-X Childhood That Were Obviously Trying To End Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
History shows that over time people want to feel safe. Safe at home with locks on doors, safe in cars with rules on the road, and safe out in the wild with —well, just about everything else — almost to the point of being overprotective. We put our kids in a bubble, don't let them out of our sight for 10 minutes, don't allow them to play "rough" with each other, or on surfaces that might scratch their delicate paper skin. I mean, when's the last time you saw a kid in a cast? But for Gen-X (and be
4 Reasons We Need To Stop Treating Aging Like It’s Literally The Worst Thing To Ever Happen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I can’t sleep a full night anymore because I pee so much.” “Why didn’t anyone tell us about perimenopause?” I’m speaking to you and myself as well. I’ve been there, I've done it, and now I’m sick of hearing it. I've read all the things, joined in on all the whining, and spoken like an expert jerk about all things “getting old” to whoever will listen. But I’ve had an epiphany: all this moaning is making us even older. Here are some insights I’ve picked up along my crusty old journey. “You won’t
Gen-X Woman Points Out How Ridiculous Today’s Social Media Habits Would've Looked In The 80s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s the 1980s. I walk into the gym, ready for my aerobics class. Before Natalie starts up, I load my 110 Kodak Elektralite with film and ask Julie to take a picture of me posing in my leg warmers, making a tight bicep curl. Boof! The flash goes off, and I hear the camera's high-pitched scream as it resets. After class, I’m taking this roll to Eckerd Drugs to get it developed and sending a copy to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, so all my friends can see my weight-loss progress. Oooh darn, I shoul
Trying To Start My Life Completely Over At 56 Gives Me Serious Anxiety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I thought those days were over. Feeling stupid and ugly. The 12-year-old girl who walked into 4th-period Spanish class, facing the fear of the mean girl bullies every day, was back. Is back. Back inside my 56-year-old aging body. Back inside my hamster wheel of a brain. Worrying and fearing that no matter what I do, wear, type, or say, it won’t be right. No one will cheer me on; no one will read, listen, look, or sign up. No one will engage. And I’ll fail. Just like I did after 6 years of sobrie
8 Imaginary High School Classes That Would've Actually Prepared Gen X For Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My hair is falling out, I can throw my neck out by sneezing, my mother died of Alzheimer’s, my friends are talking about Medicaid, and I’m now eligible for the senior menu at IHOP. Nobody prepared me for this. This should’ve been a class in high school. “Aging 101,” otherwise known as “Yes, You Will Get Old.” News flash. I didn’t use an ounce of Algebra throughout my life. I did, however, use the information I learned in MOCE, Math of Consumer Economics. That was the class I was defaulted to whe
