Adulthood. A whirlwind. While we’re all tirelessly trying to get by with the notion of an alcoholic beverage at the end of each day, I thought I’d cheer everybody up by showing that you’re not alone. Here are things that adulthood forces us all to do (I’m sure of it). I really hope I’m not the only one.
Set an alarm for a fifteen minute nap
Moan about being tired
Procrastinate by doing chores to avoid other adult responsibilities
Want to go to bed earlier
Moan about being tired
Cancel on social events
Celebrate when a friend cancels on social events
Drink too much
Work so hard your eyes turn blurry
Moan about being tired
Enjoy the little things more
Appreciate the outdoors
Talk to people who bore you
Talk to pets like they are human
Do anything to shut off the mind
Keep on learning every day
Moan about being tired
Worry about the future when there’s nothing you can do about it
Feel fully satisfied after ticking three things off the to do list
Stay at the pub for “just one more”
Realise that health, happiness and love are everything
Moan about being tired
Treat half a day off as a fortnight away in paradise
Embrace those long road trips
Embrace time to yourself
Listen more
Moan about being tired
Notice the beauty of the world around us
Find yourself “just being polite” frequently
Give up on looks and focus on fun
Scream at the moon and at the waves
Enjoy life
Moan about being tired
Adulthood might be hard, tiring and testing, but it also makes up the majority of the time that most of us are lucky enough to spend on earth and it is great!
