How To Be An Adult - Episode 45

Magnetic Mismatch

Do you remember how when you were just a teenager growing up and you just couldn't wait to become an adult already? Ya, sure you did, fantasizing about living on your own, being able to binge on junk food, staying up as late as you want, playing video games and hanging out with your friends all day, without anyone telling you what to do or a care in the world. Definitely sounds like living the dream right? Except that when you actually graduate into adulthood, many of us weren't really prepared or equipped with the right tools and knowledge.

If only someone had warned us about all the things that come with "adulting", yucky things called "responsibilities" such as finding a job, doing your own laundry, cooking, paying your own bills, managing your finances, etc. On the one hand maybe we could have avoided so many painful mistakes throughout our adulthood, but on the other hand those lessons that we learned are what made us stronger and shaped who we are today.

And although many times it may seem that our peers and other people have it all figured out, that's just simply not the case. The truth is that no matter what stage of life we are in, we will never have it all figured out, but we become more clear about who we are and what we want our life to be.

The reality is that there really is no handbook or instruction manual to tell you exactly what you should do when it comes to being an adult. The beauty of life is in gaining wisdom through your own personal experiences and growing as a person to become the best version of you.

We are still learning and have plenty more mistakes to make. However, we hope that through sharing our own stories, you can use them as a guide to build and improve your own personal journey throughout your adulthood.
