Best Era Ever – by Charmaine Gunatillake

Born in the ’60s;

Educated in the ’70s;

Ventured out in the ’80s;

Messed around in the ’90s;

Stabilised a bit in the 2000s;

Got a bit wiser in the 2010s;

Made it to the 2020s..

We have lived in..

SIX different decades,

TWO different centuries,

TWO different millennia ..

Have been through… 

 ->️ ;

 ️  ️ -> ; 

+️+YouTube,

,

Gramaphone player 

to Wireless Streaming.

Handwritten letters  

to email  

and WhatsApp

And ..

We are on time for Covid-19

Started with bell bottoms

went through “drainpipes”‍️ ‍️ 

and then settled in between. 

Walked‍️‍

cycled ‍️‍️, 

rode ️ ,

drove  , 

went on train  , 

on sea ️ ️, 

went underground , 

hung in the air , surfed  ‍ ‍️, 

flew ️ ️ 

& now await the 

Elon Musk SpaceX   to Mars

Wow!!!

What a life it’s been  

Yes, we truly went through many more… 

️

️ Typically, we can be termed as “Xennials”…. 

a “cross-over generation”  of people whose birth years were in the 60s!

 and had an     analog childhood, 

a ️️ ️ digital adulthood, 

and now a ‘Seen All ager‍’ 

Literally, our generation has lived through, witnessed so much and more in every dimension of life!

             

This is our generation that has given a new paradigm to the word “CHANGE”

  ️

We thank God for this wonderful, meaningful, amazing rollercoaster life 

      ️        

Surely, We beat our 20s & crossed over the 30s & 40s..

holding each other’s hand with fun & frolic…  

         

Best wishes, my dear friends, members of an era that was, that is, that will be ..

  *~ none such as ours*

Let us continue to live

our lives to the fullest, 

one day at a time !

Great year 2022 started, let us enjoy each moment.️
