Adulting

So the title of this post is probably why I haven’t blogged in a while. Adulting is tiring and free time seems to be consumed by Netflix binges and naps. Excuses aside, it is important to force yourself to make time for the hobbies that make you happy, and as much as netflix binges do this, writing does as well for me.

Why is there not a class in school on council tax, water, gas and electric and all the other bills you have to pay. Why are you not warned that disposable income is a massive luxury, and a weekend binge can leave you paying for it for the rest of the month. It probably doesn’t help that whenever I go into Pets at Home and see a toy that I know Tyson will absolutely love it has to come home with me. (So worth it when i see his cute little happy face).

Anyway, adulting is hard. Everything you disliked as a kid, going to bed early, napping and wanting to get home early from a party, is like a dream for an adult. Ok, so the napping might just be me, I literally think napping should be in everyone’s schedule. Especially napping with a dog, anyway moving on…I am so tired when I get home from work that I just slump on the sofa and then move from one lying down position to another in bed. Then when it gets to the weekend you’ll have all these plans but come Sunday you regret all the plans and you don’t recover till Wednesday. Basically adulting summed up.

I am in a long term relationship, in a property we are gradually going to own, with a dog (who is basically our child) and a job that I can finally see as a career, and apparently all of this makes me an adult. Sometimes though, I just want to put my Harry Potter pyjamas on, watch a disney film and cuddle my teddy. It’s confusing. I am definitely a young adult, I still have a lot to learn about life. Like why do the weeds in the garden grow back so quickly and how does every household product cost SO much.

There is so much pressure on being an adult so quickly and I love the position I am in but sometimes stressing about money, or my job or bills only furthers my anxiety. That’s why I think it is important for everyone to have a little childish in them. I mean, as I am writing this I am wearing my #IWANNABEASPICEGIRL t shirt like the cool kid that I am.

Anyway, I am going to try to be more motivated to write these more often, to ease that anxiety and to let my inner child free. Happy Disney watching, go do something fun today, or nurse that Sunday Hangover. Remember, everyone is adulting like you, and it won’t always go smoothly but you are doing well.
