I stopped giving a damn.

The story drafts were staring at me. I hadn’t finished packing with a travel date looming over my head. I needed to run a few errands.

CHA-CHING!

A work email entered my inbox. It’s already 7 pm. I skipped my strength workout today. Without a single damn to give, I put on my walking shoes.

Our adult life is often consumed by going from task to task. Those “adulting is a joke” memes have never felt more relatable.

If I have even 30 minutes of spare time in a day I panic — “Did I forget xyz?”

When I have no time to spare and a to-do list longer than toilet roll I stress.

I am the meme. We are the meme. It’s “Can adult, cannot adult” — forever.

It’s true, that adulting is chaotic, messy, and unpredictable.

But you know what isn’t??? Our attitude.

It is the one thing we have full control over — wayyyyyy more than we think.

And that day I witnessed the power of a “couldn’t care less” approach!
