Reflection
I genuinely think one of the hardest parts of adulthood is realising nobody is coming to “unlock” your life for you.
There’s no moment where you suddenly become confident, attractive, disciplined, financially stable, emotionally healed and sure of yourself all at once.
You just slowly become the person you wanted to be through random Tuesday decisions nobody claps for.
Going to the gym when you don’t want to.
Replying to the email.
Cleaning your room.
Saving money instead of impulse buying.
Going outside instead of rotting in bed.
Leaving people that drain you.
Trying again after embarrassing yourself.
As a kid I thought adults had some hidden certainty. Most people are literally improvising while trying not to disappoint themselves.
Kind of terrifying.
Kind of freeing.
