Adulting!!!

What your parents never taught you!!!

Nowadays, unlike the early 20’s century the gap between Adolescence and Adults is substantial and is called “Adulting”. Millennials are still trying to figure out what it means to be mature but often see themselves in a dilemma whether to go partying or complete the monotonous remaining tasks. This is #adulting and million other things. People usually find Adulting hard, hence, the very famous twitter hashtag #AdultingIsHard. This is the time when the dreams of our childhood come true or we hoped that it would. It might not be the case with everybody, but that’s okay! It is not mandatory to live a stereotypical lifestyle of college at 20, marriage at 25, children at 30, promotion and retirement and so on. It is perfectly fine to think distinctively and live with your parents at 20 without any idea of what you want to do in your life. It can be difficult due to the society and peer pressure but believe me, if not now, eventually you’ll find what it is that you are passionate about. Planning the unpredictable is not always the best idea but going with the flow can be.

Life shouldn’t be that hard to live. It shouldn’t be depressing to think about rather it should be a beautiful set of memories with a hope of a bright future. Well, this is seldom true for us as youngsters, isn’t it!? We tend to overthink the smallest possible situation and be the victim of stress and tensions. This has become the new normal. Overwhelmed with the new responsibilities and situations, we sometimes create messy situations and then be embarrassed about it for ages. People don’t even remember that and we won’t forgive ourselves for it. That’s unfair! We have to start living in reality and live the most out of it. Usually, we find ourselves in the cozy blanket of social media which is corrupting us and at the same time entertaining us. It's the big nasty spider web and we are in the middle of it. But, we finally have to accept and learn to live outside it, it's not impossible, guys!!

Finding a Job, managing the budget, cooking, cleaning, etc, are some of the basic responsibilities we are expected to be pro at. Is it that easy? It’s definitely not that easy. Though we work really hard to be the best example of Young Adults. But it’s okay if we are not. Not everyone is destined to earn big and be famous. It's okay to live a pretty normal life where you can eat pizza at any hour of the day, wear any type of clothes and watch Netflix all day. You don’t have to be a millionaire to be happy. Though money is always a bonus point, no doubt in that. Thinking big is okay, not achieving is also okay. Relationship stuff can be pretty depressing at times, but you have to believe that you’ll meet someone one day (no other option), until then eat, sleep, work and enjoy with your friends. The ultimate race among almost adults to be always dating, flirting is also okay, It is also okay to be single and be happy about it. If working all day is not bad then partying more than often is also not bad, you never know what, when, where, you find the true calling for yourself. Though it is expected to do everything in limits and sometimes, Its True! Anyway, trust yourself that you want to make a better living for yourself and whatever you do or not do is in favour of that. Trust your instincts, go for it and if it doesn’t work out. It is okay, give yourself a break and at least you tried. There are zillion things in the world to do, you have got to find which one suits you. Don’t lose hope, life has a weird way of coming around :)))
