Who Taught Us How to Be Adults?

‎

‎Hmmm... it's another day, and I'm still trying to figure out this whole adulthood thing.

‎

‎I remember being a kid and thinking grown-ups had it all figured out. They looked so confident, so capable, like they knew exactly what they were doing. I couldn't wait to grow up.

‎

‎You know, they say growth is a beautiful thing, and I completely agree.

‎

‎But if this is what growing into adulthood entails, I don't think I wanted to grow up this fast.

‎

‎Sometimes I wonder why I couldn't have stayed young just a little longer.

‎

‎Because this adulthood doesn't make much sense to me.

‎

‎The expectations.

‎The responsibilities.

‎The endless workload.

‎

‎How have so many of us not completely lost our minds yet?

‎

‎Nobody said it was going to be easy.

‎

‎But nobody said it was going to be this hard either.

‎

‎Well...

‎

‎I don't know if it's even possible to completely figure it out.

‎

‎Maybe nobody ever does.

‎

‎But I'm still here, and you're still here.

‎

‎Maybe that counts for something.

‎

‎After all...

‎

‎Surviving is a kind of winning, isn't it?
