Fuck me, one would be plenty

I have #5. It’s called spite when it’s the only one of these that you have.

Pick any two

Even if you had those 5 things for a period of time these will fluctuate. Life makes no promises.

I was promised at least lemons, but frankly if I waited for life to deliver I would have scurvy by now...

I have 2 and 5 sometimes 4, hoping soon to get 3 and a solid 4. I'll never have 1 because that's kinda what's going to make 4 so satisfying.

Only 1 to go

I have none of these things 🫠

I have 5/5. I've always rejected the idea of traditional goals and instead went out to have fun and enjoy life. Really didn't care; I already was used to nothing and it is liberating. The rest just kind of happened without noticing.

It helps to love yourself and to stay away from stupid.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

This is why I never play ranked.

I don't even have one of these! 😩

Same. That last one has been brutal lately
- It comes in waves. Keep surfing, another one will come along.

What if my coping mechanism is denial, which means I believe it to be healthy because I'm denying the negative?

I'm feeling pretty lucky just having #5 even if half my family just kinda assumes I don't.

1985 here. All but the first one. But my coping mechanisms are way healthier now than a decade or two ago so progress!

What is the oldest you can be and still call yourself a millennial? Google says born in 1980s counts. I'm pretty sure I have all five.

Now excuse me while I avoid work while scrolling Lemmy. ;).

1986 here, and same. A lot of us older millennials have things pretty well figured out by now.
- And yet still every year you will make, functionally, less money than the last. You will get poorer and poorer and it took you longer to get settled than the generation before you.
  
  As a younger millenial, please don’t just slip into the same old tired horseshit that the people before you did. It’s not helping and a lot of millenials are definitely struggling where they shouldn’t have to.
1980, but it's more about the experience. Did you have a computer when you were young? AOL in highschool? Millennial.
- I requested AOL floppies so I could wipe them and reuse them for shareware. Does that count? ;)
I was born in 1981 and from what I've seen technically that is the first year people are considered to be millennials. It's kind of a grey area though.

(I used to not have the will to live but for some reason its never been stronger despite facing worse than this.)

No millennial has a unicorn either (I checked)

I've met a few who did 😏
- Everybody... Disregard my previous comment. Missed this guy
  
  Guess you can say I needed more time to... puts on sunglasses... Gradually adjust
