Millennials are a generation that are constantly torn apart.

I have heard and seen numerous accounts of videos, social media posts or just general family conversation that state millennials life style -- and millennials in general -- are the absolute worst. Well, as a millennial, I would like to say -- I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry for the changes this generation has created and I am not sorry for the way this generation has adapted. Granted, there are things that Millennials have said or done that are not the best, but doesn't every generation have that problem? I mean, look at the baby boomers, a generation of rebels and drugs. Here are a few things that, as a Millennial, you should not be sorry for.

1. Technology

Millennials are a generation known for smartphones, Google and social media, and you know what? That is OK. Our smartphones allow us quick communication on the go. They let us take pictures of moments we never want to forget, and we are able to take those memories with us every where we go. Before smartphones or the development of cell phones, you could only make phone calls from home or send letters. Think how useful that is next time you're broken down on the side of the road. Don't be sorry for the use of social media either. There is nothing wrong with staying connected with old friends, or letting people know what is going on in your lives. Generations before us kept diaries, and we do the same, just online.

2. Being Action-oriented and opinionated...

Or better yet, thinking we "know it all." This is a statement I personally have heard my parents say a thousand times. The second I state my opinion, I get the "Well, you don't know everything." We are a generation of activism, promoting civil, social, and political change. Millennials are more accepting of homosexuality, transgender and feminism, among other equal rights movements, and even have been a driving force behind these equal rights movements. Don't be sorry for having strong beliefs on issues that affect you. Stay informed, and educated, and fight for what you believe in.

3. Being non-traditional.

Millennials have broken the "traditional" aspects of many things, and have brought on a more modern perspective. Millennials have broken traditional expectations of things like gender roles, marriage roles, the expectation to have kids, the expectation of being "settled down" first and many other things. These more modern takes on life allow for a more easy going way of life, without strict "guidelines." Also, the breaking of these traditional expectations still allows people to live with them, if they choose, but without the social pressure.

I am not sorry for the difference from your generation to mine. As a millennial, a generation of change, acceptance and modernism -- I am not sorry.
