Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. Adulthood comes with a lot and takes a lot away from us; a good and quality sleep is one of the things that adulthood takes away from us. I remember the days where I had all the time in the world. I could sleep even when I just woke up from sleep; as long as it was a holiday and I didn't have house chores to do, I could comfortably go back to sleep and not have anyone disturb me. But now I wish I could go back to those days because it was really fun and restful.
As kids I really wanted to grow up and become an adult because of the type of freedom that I see adults enjoy, I grew up under strict parents and I had to be home by 8pm but the adults and even my father's you get brother that lived with us was actually allowed to stay out till midnight. Trust me I really wanted all of that, stay out late and have all the fun in the world before I retire back to sleep as I prepare to continue having fun the following day but now as an adult, I have seen that I was wrong and adulthood is not what I thought it was. Nobody told me I had to pay bills or work myself out before I can actually afford basic needs.
Those days I also wanted to grow up so that I could at least have access to eating two meats; trust me, I never thought that I had to earn it. As a kid, I thought it was just extra that came with growing up, but now I see things differently. As an adult, you have to work for every single thing. As an adult, you work and pay for everything. As an adult, your chances of getting anything free become very slim, unlike the days we were kids and stood a chance to go home every day with a free gift from people.
As an adult, everything you go home with is actually something you paid for or bought with your own money. It is more disheartening to realize that as an adult you don't just work for yourself but for you and your family; dealing with adulthood can be stressful, and sometimes it feels like 24 hours is no longer enough to meet up with everything you have to do. My sleep pattern is bad; I sleep quite late every day and still wake up early the next day. I have school activities, an offline job, and the little I do online to attend to almost every day, and sometimes I need the night to get it all done, which makes it impossible to have a good and restful sleep like I used to as a kid.
My friends will say we always sleep the next day; imagine going to bed at 2am or 3am to be up by 5am or 6am at least. I wish all the activities tampering with my sleep could actually be cut off, but it is not possible; I just cannot do away with them.

Welcome to adulthood that is full of responsibility most time i just wish i can be a kid so that i can enjoy at least a quality sleep. Adulthood will deny you a quality sleep
Those days we underrated the gift of quality sleep and peace, now adulthood keeps tampering with all that.
Thanks for stopping by.
