A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Is a age that is both full of, and devoid of opportunities. I feel like being a adult is just lying about how much you have your shit together to people who also lie about having their shit together. After we got out of college, we are just going to sit in front of a computer like the generations before us for the rest of our life, with the only difference of be paided less then them. I don't want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world. When we gen z first comes to high school the world seems full of opportunities, we imagine us achieving great things, but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.

To all the Gen Z, and in the future, Gen Alpha. Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.

Try rice fields.

Everyone does, just don't overthink it and do what you want now, then maybe you'll have something to remember when you turn 81.

First world problems. Try year 1630 AD.

but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.

It's not a mid-life crisis, it's the typical teenage trap of thinking you've reached that and are now wise sensei in a wrong body. Actually feels like something a 15yo me could have written, not 18yo.

It's more dangerous than you think. When you really have a mid-life crisis, it'll just be. You won't think about it this way.

Don't allow those thoughts to prevent you from getting out, touching grass, learning all you can about all the wonders in the world you can find.

Also don't wait those 3 months to consider yourself an adult.

And, quoting Al Pachino's character, when in doubt - fuck.

Just cause people have had it worse doesn't mean they're not allowed to criticise it

Show me how a comment on the Web can disallow them anything.

By the way, neither can any of yours

I worded that badly, what I meant was just because humans in the past have had it worse, doesn't mean OP can't criticise current problems
