There are a lot of things that I do on an average week, but if I had the choice I would say: “I’d rather not.” Like, during these Adult activities:

• Going food shopping
• Riding on the subway during rush hour
• Saying “sure!” when I want to tell my boss to go away
• Going to the gym with really skinny people

…I could go on forever.

This week, I was really feeling the burn. Every time my alarm went off I cringed and pressed snooze. When I had the option to go to a gym class, I decided to “treat myself” and take the day off.

And, it’s not like I’m not happy. I’m doing fine. When I’m in the moment, I don’t really think about how much of a pain things really are (except, maybe sometimes).

But, overall I’m Tired. I think about how long I still have to devote my Sunday afternoons to food shopping and it makes me itch. It makes me feel claustrophobic.

When does this end?

Never, they say. This is being an Adult, they say.

And, even though you may switch jobs and live in a great apartment and have really fun friends and an awesome boyfriend and go on weekend trips to Vegas….Adulting is still hard. There are still times that it takes all the gusto you’ve got to get out of bed and put a dimmer of a smile on your face.

And, you know what? That’s okay. That’s really okay. Because it’s not just you. It’s me, and every other 20-something+ out there.

We all have these moments.

But this time, I don’t have an answer on how to change it. I think that’s just what Adulting is. That’s what life is. There are some really great parts, and some really messed up parts. But, knowing there are other people out there like you makes it a teeny bit better.

It makes me feel better, at least.

When I first entered Adulthood, I thought that these people had it figured all out. I was so scared about getting It right, because I worked so hard already and I had loans to pay and I was supposed to be really happy. That’s what you expect when you step over into the Adult world. It’s the common misconception that things will seamlessly move from one way of life into another.

It doesn’t work that way. And frankly, these so-called Adults — the ones that have started their own businesses, and have 3 kids and still manage to go to yoga after work — they don’t know either. They’re still on that path of figuring It out.

Either way, just know I’m with you. We’re all with you. I’m here for you during those typical #Adulting moments.

And remember, it’s all going to be okay.
