You know the expression “building the plane while you’re flying it?” Cool, cool, cool. That’s absolutely what’s happening here. I’m a human in the first half – hopefully third – of my life who is deeply traumatized by the dissonance between my fantasies of being a grown up and the harrowing reality. My comprehension of adulthood pretty much capped out at always having money for whatever you wanted like my mom always seemed to, staying up as late as I wanted, and doing whatever I wanted to do. Anyone who has ever walked even one step into the hood of adulting knows that the awakening I’m experiencing has been rude. Deeply rude.
It may be my first time meeting you so I won’t dump all my business on you just yet, but if you can relate or just want to laugh at my naïveté head over to Wisdom & Wailing.
