It's tumultuous. I should be optimistic; personally things have trended upwards consistently - and if you look around, so has 'modern society'. Whatever that means.

Yet... I'm conflicted. I'm the exception. Without guessing numbers/getting too into it, I can say a majority of my graduating class spanning the southern half of a state had no future. We all live in different realities.

I see the Great Value Dystopia being built around me. There's value [for someone], I'm just not sure it's me.
