2. No matter how hard you look:
3. When everything is just too damn expensive:
4. When you realise you've either hit your peak or are past it:
5. When you decide it's time to revert back to childhood:
6. When you start shaking your head at today's youth:
7. When life throws you the tough choices:
8. But on the plus side, no one can stop you from making your own rules:
9. Even if your own rules don't include a balanced meal plan:
10. That's OK though, because no one can tell you how to live your life now you're so old:
11. When it's far too easy to make simple mistakes:
12. When you have stellar advice for future generations:
13. When you realise you're making freakishly adult-like decisions:
14. When you have a productive day and you really should be rewarded for simply surviving:
15. When you know there's just some things you still need your mum for:
16. Or when you start Googling basically EVERYTHING:
17. And when Google answers the questions you've been too embarrassed to ask:

18. When there's one benefit of being legal age:
19. When you should know better but YOLO or whatever the youths say:
20. When you honestly just feel like you're faking it:
When your parents start talking about you being an adult and you don't want actual responsibilities
21. When you just don't even know anymore:
22. Because you just have too many conflicting feelings running through your weary, ageing body:
23. When you pretend everything is going swimmingly:
24. When things are just emotionally and physically draining...
My assessment of being an adult so far...
25. ...but you pretend everything is OK anyway:
26. When you realise in some small ways you have matured:
27. And when you finally learn how to start prioritising properly:
Being an adult is hard 😕
