absolutely not the past was terrible and nothing about it was a good thing. I kinda wished if I was myself that I wouldn't be born for at least anothat 10-20 years so that my chrono-youth would take place at a time when I would suffer less. my generation really wasn't a good time to be born when my generation [chrono] was born, especially for my particular disabilities and being NDN lineage with NDN cultural upbringing and not having civil rights yet. I'm not even sure 20 years is going to be enough for indigenous peoples to have less of a screwy place in the world, but I sure hope it improve and doesn't continue to erode like it has during my lifetime. it's kind of worryingly unfair IMO that there might never be a good era to be born NDN, post-contact.

I wouldn't know which one(s) or why there's any doomed generations, so I don't think so? I'm pretty sure having better access to better education and more civil rights is making it less horrible than for my generation and ones older than mine, but also it depends if you're in a demographic which is stigmatized and marginalized, or if you're in one which has more advantages in life. it kinda depends on if you feel like increasing equality and fairness is a good thing or not, and because I'm hurt less by having been a disabled non-white kid growing up in my chrono-youth, modern culture has started to be less hard on kids like me, and younger kids [chrono, the younger generations], it's a lot safer than it was for me. I can't think of why there's more doom for younger generations even for the more average, or even privileged youth, so I actually think it's probably less doom not more.

sometimes I found as chrono-youth adults I didn't feel comfortable or safe with would creep on me and demanded a hug even if I didn't want to. that feels gross at any age but being chrono-adult it happens less often so it started to feel nicer because I stopped having people I wasn't comfortable with feeling as entitled to demand a hug. adult-liberation being a default is rude, so I think that part is kind of the main reason, if not the only reason that it's felt safer and nicer as a chrono-adult. I'd probably have been able to appreciate hugs more as chrono-youth if I had an easier time declining a hug from someone older who I don't like, but I think that's more a matter of sometimes chrono-adults are pushy weirdos, so iunno. I have weird feelings about that because it feels unfair and I wish I got more hugs now like I used to? it's complicated but also if it's a safe hug I always liked it because those always felt good no matter what =^.^=
