Adulting And It's Chokehold


Hi people, goodness me I cannot believe it's been this long since I wrote or even posted. I do apologize for the gaps, but you see, adulting has had me in a tight chokehold. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for me to get everything done, and there's definitely enough time for me to rest like I would and even when I do try to get a lie down and rest, my mind and brain then decide to do fun activities and everything but rest. 


To be honest, half the adults I've spoken with in the past two weeks sounded like we all needed adultier adults to step in, however briefly, and give us some quality time-off or something because whatttttttttttttttttttttt, we are unable to can anymore. Point us to the direction of these adultier adults please. :)

And to think we were all so keen to grow up and do adult things. rolling my eyes at us all Nothing fully prepared us for the responsibilities that adulthood comes with. These things were not shown or discussed enough around us while we grew up and longed for adulthood. 

As a matter of fact, methinks there needs to be a module/course every undergraduate MUST take that sheds some light on expectations and challenges one might encounter as an adult in the real world. It would cover issues such as jobs or a lack thereof, feeding habits, traffic, travel, friendships (fake and real), envy, relationships, marriages (successful and failed ones), finances (this one ehnnnnn), love, rest, joys, religions, office politics, back-stabbing friends and devious family members, intuitions and gut-feelings, parenting, etc. The full works because dare I say, there are more than enough real-life case studies on all these and several likely outcomes as well.

Gosh, the joy I feel right now just typing this post out. I have indeed missed writing and wish I could have enough time and mental energy to write more but as you can see, adulting has me hooked by my non-existent hairy balls. 😄



Am I right or am I right? How's adulting treating you at the moment? 💖

Undulating Adulthood

Adulthood........ gosh I remember how eager we all were to attain adulthood and live our best lives without a care in the world. LOL. Well, would you look at us now? Battling with all the fcukeries that comes with adulthood and then some. Wading our ways through the paths life daily charts us, nary a solid clue (for most) of how to truly get there but striving to, we keep at. 

I think the part no one and nothing prepared me for the most is grief. Loosing friends and loved ones and not knowing what to do with all the pains and aches but letting it hit hard every now and then whilst yet keeping up a brave face to the world, a façade of beauty, strength and flair above the intense pains and gloom grief bears like sour gifts. 

Adulthood......... You know you have done more than enough and you know you are worth way more yet doubts cling on to you like luxury perfumes on garments adorned. Yet, you keep going because those looking up to you and drawing strength from you are many. They are legion and you simply cannot let them down because to let them down is to let yourself down. So you keep pushing........... to what end? Doesn't matter really. To keep their dream alive because they live forever in your heart largely so their visions and hopes doesn't die with them. 

Just keep going and try not to hurt or be hurt too much. Be any type of adult you simply can but just be a kind one while you are adulting.............................................


P.s. The above was written on a whim and served as a ladder, an outlet if you may, from a dark place into a place of light and love. If it made no sense to you, it's OK. Keep going. If it made sense to you, know that you are not alone, ok?


Live. Love. Dance. Smile
