Flex Culture

Time is something we could not stop nor we can rewind. I feel everything in this day and age are changing very rapidly, too fast in my own judgement. I am a millennials but I feel that I am not a part of the millennials, and I have been far left behind socially. There is no way for me to keep up with the 'happening' culture including the Flex Culture.

Flex

Verb

Definition: showing off one’s status, material wealth, or well-being.

Back then, I was thought to be humble, today's parents taught their children to flex. Humility might become an unknown word and obselete in the near future. The young adult, young parents, the kids, and some of the older generation are currently embracing this culture. I don't want to judge but I adamantly despise this culture. It is vain and unnecessary.

Is the new culture going to fits with the term of growth and maturity? The standards of growth and maturity might have changed to the current cultures and technologies, and I hope I won't be a lost cause who are lost in translation.

First and foremost, hopefully I will not be the same with the world just like the Romans 12 told us:
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:2‭-‬3 KJV

The biggest and most captivating smile that I have ever received is in 2004, when I was doing a charity work to the marginal people who live in the landfill of the wealthiest people in the country. The warmest hug that I have ever received from a stranger is in 2018 from the homeless man who stop and asked me if I have a spare change which I did not have. Despite the fact that I had nothing to give him, he gave me a hug that I can't forget, the hug that come unexpected yet so beautiful. God usually pack a lot of power and strength into tiny little packages, in the most humble way.

Yesterday I came across a YouTube video called Analog Trip, this video is about 6 K-pop idols went on a trip to Indonesia for holiday. My older sister was the one who recommend me to watch it a few months ago. The whole 12 series of their video were very good, but there are two episodes that left huge impression to me.
