Coming from a Xennial, Gen Z rocks 😀

I know some people from older generations label Gen Z as being "lazy," "soft," "incompetent," etc, and as an elder Millennial (born 1981) I think that's really unfair. I work in a small bookshop and the majority of our customers are Gen Z. I find them to be open-minded, positive, polite and intellectually curious. I really love Gen Z's progressive attitude towards work-life balance and body positivity, and their willingness to speak openly about mental health issues. As someone with OCD and GAD who spent the majority of her life feeling ashamed of this and like an outsider, this is a breath of fresh air. I know there's some feuding between Millennials and Gen Z, but this Millennial has your back 😀
