Adulthood


Are you feeling “less than” these days? Have the months started to roll into each other from the monotony? The “grind” as they say? Are you experiencing less joy than you used to? In fact, are the years beginning to merge, separated only by holidays and industrial strength sicknesses requiring a trip to your “doctor?”
Well pucker up butter cup and say hello to adulthood. Yes, adulthood, everything you avoided in childhood, adolescence, college, grad school and perpetual bachelorhood, has put its foot down harder than a dropped refrigerator sized slab of concrete…from a fifth story window.
Responsibility? You got it.
Pressure? Up the wazoo.
Bills? Like you never imagined.
Debt? Through the roof you’ll have to re-shingle here in a few years at a mere 5-8k. More likely 10k.
Smile, smile for the pictures. Never let ‘em see you sweat. Or cry or seem frustrated or exhausted or anything but, you guessed it, an adult.
Sure adulthood is no picnic but having gone on a few, with kids, you realize in your wisdom, that a picnic is no picnic. And consider all the positives that come with adulthood…


Your credit score isn’t bad?
Your car maintenance is up to date?
Your wardrobe is refreshingly boring?
Your diet and exercise program are the envy of all triple bypass survivors?
Your caught up on Game of Thrones?

Cmon, would you really want to go back? To high school? Do you remember the acne?
