A letter to fellow youth

Dear comrades,
Is it okay if I call you that? My dictionary tells me that a comrade is “a person who shares in one’s activities”. But why should I let a dictionary define what I should do with my words? Wasn’t the dictionary itself written by men and women like you and me?
But if we must stick to that definition, I insist that you and I share the not-always-unpleasant activity of “youthing” — or adulting, for the older ones amongst us.
Dear comrades, I thought I should write you a letter to share with you some thoughts and observations that I have made in my three decades on this planet. These observations mainly have to do with the way we are “doing” our youth, or as I phrased it before, the way we are youthing.
Remember that 2002 song, I Can, by rapper Nas? It went something like:
hope its help you.
