While I was growing up, i always envied adults. I use to think adults were always rich. I thought that an adult could buy any kind of toys and videos games because they're grown ups and they are always rich.
It got to a point that i wanted to be an adult so badly, I'd always imagine myself being an adult and living my close to the beach. I always thought adults had the best life.
When i was 15 years old, I'd tell myself a whole bunch of things I'd like to do when I become fully grown and became an adult. As at the time I was 15 years old, I'd tell myself i just have 5 more years to become an adult.
Life as an Adult
Now I'm all grown up and fully an adult, but guess what?
Adult life is a total opposite to what i thought or what i imagined. No one told me adult life was gonna be this difficult.
I always thought I'd automatically become rich when I become an adult ( i was just a young kid, without any knowledge of what the outside world feels like).
The first early stages of my adulthood was a mess. Then i was inexperienced, i thought everything would just fall into place. I didn't even make any progress to work and earn money, i was literally forced to do whatever i was told. My parents forced me to go to school. At first i thought sending me to school was just a way to deprive me of enjoying my adulthood....LOL 😅, i can't believe i was that dumb.
My parents sending me to school was because of the love they have for me aside that, they wanted to be become a better and responsible adult. I really miss my childhood, i wish i could turn back the hands of the clock and become a child again.
Being a child has more privileges than being an adult. A child has absolutely nothing to worry about. When i was a teenger, i barely has any problems, the only problems or worries i use to have was getting a new toy or a new pair of shoe. Then life was so good.
Life as an adult is not a funny one, responsibilities starts resting on your shoulders, personal bills to pay, house rent, unexpected expenses, thinking for other family members. This moment you're fine, the next moment you're sad, series of mood swings.
The frustration that comes with being broke is on another level. Being a broke adult is frustrating, nothing seems to make you happy when you realise that you have bills to sort out and you don't have money. I just hate being broke, i can't even stay without having money i could fall back to.
When I was still a young teenager, I'd save some money to buy a doll or a pair of shoes, even if my money isn't complete for wherever i was saving the money for, my mum would assist me with the completion of the money and in some occasions, she's end up buying what i was saving money for.
Life as an adult is just crazy.

Bzzzrrr, eu ainda me lembro de quando era garoto e imaginava que ser adulto era tudo de bom! Ah! Falha no Sistema... Entendi agora que a vida adulta não é uma garantia de riqueza nem de felicidade. #hivebr

Thank you ❤️
So nobody explained adulthood well for you? 😂 Sorry sist, it gets really frustrating sometimes but now that you are already an adult, best you can do is make the best out of it to escape being the broke adult.
I'm working my ass out not to become a broke adult , i don't ever want to experience it.
Thanks for stopping by ❤️
You welcome 🤗
Omo, adult life is it easy at all. If they had told us, we wouldn’t have been in a hurry to be adults.
But I believe it gets better with time.
