ADULTHOOD RELOADED
Over the last few months, I learnt something.
As we grow older, we need to understand that it is everybody for him or herself. We all got into adulthood unprepared. Infact, I can say 80% of young people started adulthood unprepared.
It’s one hard reality I find hard to cope with. How everyone can just fizzle out and you’re left with just you and yourself.
How close friends eventually become strangers. How family members become enemies. These are people we share amazing life experiences with, and whoop, they’re no where to be found.
It’s not wise too to get angry if someone does not seem to remember you, even family members. Everyone is involved in this struggle to get a life and just live.
A lot of us are just trying to survive each day, not knowing what tomorrow brings.
This is one life reality that hits me hard at some point. Loneliness sets in. Practically, nothing makes sense, and you’re just hoping that one day, there be light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope and pray each day that every of this struggle is worth it at the end.
If you get someone who checks up on you, you should appreciate their efforts.
I thought I loved talking and checking up on people, but when adulthood came knocking and certain responsibilities showed up, I knew I wasn’t good at it all.
My own prayer each day was to survive it and just see the next day. It became impossible to relate and reach out.
Funny enough, I was looking for people who could reach out to me, hug me, pray over me, and encourage me, but most times, I never got. I had to learn to do it myself.
Adulthood is no child’s play. It’s responsibility reloaded.
Loneliness is real, sometimes, it eat so deep that I feel stuck.
This is adulthood and it’s not funny.
I just want to snap out of all of these and just be okay. That’s just my goal.
2022 is on it’s way, I really don’t know what’s up. There’s practically nothing in my head, but then, I gat to move regardless.
Probably, I’ll just do it whichever way it comes. I’m just going to move.
This is adulthood!
