Being an adult, explained.

Nobody tells you that being an adult is mostly logistics.

You buy a vacuum cleaner and feel genuine excitement.

You have a favorite burner on the stove.

You say “I’ll sleep early tonight” with the confidence of someone who has never met you.

You’ve been meaning to call the dentist since March. Which March is unclear.

Every week, you make a plan to get your life together.

Every week, life declines the invite.

You’re doing great, though.

Probably.
