    As a millennial, I’m starting to relate more and more. The world changes very quickly, and all of the sudden things you knew as fact have different meanings, and there are new words and stuff. It’s not all bad change, but it’s change, and odds are, I’m finding out something changed the hard way.

      Seriously, I was raised with so much propaganda.

      Up until my late twenties I had believed basically everything I was taught in school. I never had reason to question it, as I was basically living in a bubble. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that when the colonists arrived to this country, it wasn’t just big empty open spaces that the native Americans gladly shared with us. Funny enough, that’s roughly when I gained access to the internet.
