Katie Elster
Generation Y
"I am a Millennial. Generation Y. Born between the birth of AIDS and 9/11, give or take. They call us "The Global Generation". We are known for our entitlement and narcissism. Some say it's because we're in the first generation where kids get a trophy just for showing up. Others think it's because social media allows us to post every time we fart or have a sandwich for all the world to see. But it seems that our one defining trait is a numbness to the world, an indifference to suffering. I know I did anything I could to not feel. Sex, drugs, booze. Just take away the pain. And the press, and all the boys I loved who wouldn't love me back. I mean, that must have hurt like hell, right? Most people never get over stuff like that, and I was, like, "Let's go for Jamba Juice". I would give everything I have or will ever have just to feel pain again. To hurt."
