Do you remember when being an adult was on your top five of things you couldn’t wait to do. Now look at us. Here we are, adulting and I think it’s safe to say that the majority of us have repeated, “I’ve made a huge mistake” more times than we can count.
It looked so easy! You could do what you want, make your own hours, have friends over whenever you wanted. All you had to do was be an adult. But then when you get to being an adult you realize it’s all a bunch of shit. It was all lies. You can’t do whatever you want. You don’t get to make your own hours and all your friends are to busy to even grab coffee, let alone spend the day with you. As an adult I have spent more time asking myself “how did I get here?”, than I have actually enjoyed being here.
There is no book to read that can prepare you for all the things you will have to navigate as an adult. And boy, there are a ton of things to navigate. My least favorite thing to navigate, dating. Dating is quite possibly the worst part of adulting. Well, it is for me anyway. That’s my main focus of this blog, is to chronical the journey of being a functioning adult, learning that’s it OK to not get it right all the time, (after all it’s my first time being at this point in life. I have no experience yet, lol) and telling the stories of all of my experiences along the way.
