The EU and why I think that millennial generation will save it
2 years ago, when the UK decided to leave the EU, we all thought that it was going to be a big shock for the rest member states. It was very reasonable to think that. However, the EU has been constructing a new skyline full of possibilities, and we can say today that the EU has a brilliant future ahead. Nonetheless, it seems that the more dangerous threat to the EU are the political situation in some Eastern and Northern Europe countries, like Hungary or Poland, instead of Brexit itself.
The EU nowadays is very connected to the "millennial" feeling. But, what's that? Well, to explain this we probably have to take into account that people who belong to the millennial generation, like me, are very frustrated with the political situation in each country, so we try to find solutions travelling, working in other countries and avoiding thinking about the distant future. Instead, we try to enjoy our near future. This is the reason why some people also call us the "Peter Pan generation".
Anyway, that's why millennial people feel a deep connection with the EU. Not with the Brussels politicians, not with the EU governments or institutions, but with the idea or freedom for travelling, no borders and, definitely, to the idea itself of having a real EU.
It's interesting to think that the EU is going to survive not because of their politicians, but for the young who are tired of them and try to find a better place to live in other European countries, taking advantage of the nomad behaviour that has been reinstalled in the mind of younger generations, instead of sedentary lifestyle.
The millennial generation is going to suffer, in economical terms, a bit more than their parents, but the interesting point is that they don't care about it. Most people under 30 don't mind about buying a house or renovating their living rooms. Instead, they prefer to spend more money on travelling or having fun with their friends. However, we don't know if this is a consequence of having less opportunities, or it's just a social behaviour provided by the new lifestyle where Social Media and the idea of being happy with only your smartphone or tablet. Probably both are related.
The EU is not perfect, and will never be. However, it seems that it's very useful to those young people who think they don't belong to anywhere. I think that's the real "millennial" feeling.

*Don't mind quiere decir que lo harán porque les da igual y no les desconviene, Don't care about quiere decir que no es una prioridad y por eso no lo harán ( y creo que este es lo que querías decir)

What a very well thought out text. Congrats! Exactly what is going to happen to Brexit isn't all that clear to me. What will be the result, honest, I don't think anyone knows. Anyway, keep writing, you are doing extremely well.
