Today’s generation is not just chasing online fame. It is looking for visibility, recognition and the chance to truly be seen.

Everyone talks about ambition. Nobody talks about exhaustion. We live in a time where youth culture is constantly described as energetic, creative and endlessly productive.

We are not a fragile generation. We are a compressed one.

They call us lazy, disengaged, unreliable. It’s a simple narrative — convenient, repeated often enough to sound true.

We live with the anxiety of those who must save the world and the exhaustion of those who no longer can.

We grew up inside the idea that adulthood meant control, of work, emotions, direction.
