Indomitable "X"

true, I was raised in a generation of waiting for the end to come, so I learned patience and also played with toys I made. I lived through some real rough time as I moved to Vancouver, BC, and they gave me the "New England welcome" . Solitude was no problem, My imagination ran wild those days as I learned English as a second language. When I was old enough to go to college, being told no was normal because of my race and my grades (I was a mediocre), and so after I got enough rejection letters, I came to the states, in my earliest years here, I was in Lexington, KY. I was regularly stared at on the streets and occasionally got heckled, as they drove by. Some of my professors made up their minds about me, and in the end I reapplied and ended up here in this socialist - feminist-liberal Northeast.

Yes, all my life I have been prepared for extinction level events,. I mean, my religion prepared me (I was a end time fundamentalist - a holy roller), my social background prepared me, and my studies (I was an avid microbiology major - a bacteria - virus -loving folk), yeah, that dose of microbiology prepared me for a day like this. And something unfortunate happened during my junior year, I had to quite college to work for my dad who bought a tailor shop, that was a disaster, and harsh. Yeah, I ended up knowing how to sew. and it was a thankless job, one of the lowest in the pile. And of course, studying at this liberal ridden Harvard, and spent time in the libraries in the treasures of the books about ancient China, Silk Road and Syriac Christianity that thrived in China 1300 years ago, yea, those things prepared me.

X generation does not lack anything. We were made and fashioned for a day such as this. We will now go on making masks, face shields, PPE and sew a lot of them so that our front line soldiers will be protected in this fight. We dont surrender and we will keep going, that is us, the patient and indomitable "X".

Look out, Generation X is invincible, we even make our own coffins and urns to be buried in. Hahhaaa. and I laugh.
