Adulting is difficult, but it does not have to be humorless. Growing up can be a daunting journey as we step out of our comfortable cocoons and face the vast world head-on.
It means one has to literally grow up! Do all those tasks that one saw adults around them doing. Pay taxes, collect bills, make budgets, buy amenities, and become responsible for one's own existence.
Being a kid, one has so much hope and admiration for when they will become an adult. We all have tried to mimic our parents and their daily habits as kids. Picking the fake phone and talking to the boss, applying that red lipstick from our mother's cosmetics collection, and then leaving to shop for groceries, all of it is cute and funny. But when we grow up, these very habits turn into compulsions.
While not everyone has the same experience, those who get into a 9 to 5 or hustle through the difficult task of homemaking, or even rearing a child, can find life a little fast-paced, allowing little time for relaxing.
For those who get into academia, deadlines and projects take up mental space. While all these experiences exist, humor is still to be found in every nook and corner of adult life. As we try our best to keep ourselves sane and happy, laughter is undoubtedly the best cure for adult life frustration.
Juggling all the tasks, chores, self-care priorities, and fun is a challenging task as an adult. Especially if one has to take care of finances as well. Sitting for hours to make a functional budget and learning new skills are all tasks that one has to perform as an adult.
Ever get the feeling that just cooking for yourself a good, hearty meal at the end of a busy workday is more soothing than anything else in the whole world? Or that changing the scrub sponge that has been sitting all oil-stained by the sink instantly fixes the mood?
Well then, my friend, you are an adult! Like it or not. Keep all this and drizzle a bit of anxiety and perpetual tiredness, and you get the perfect formula for a grown-up life. But adulthood is not all gray! Financial independence, chance of self-discovery, personal growth, and the scope of challenging one's boundaries are all in store in the adult realm as well.
