I am – for 99.98% of what counts – a functional adult. \u00a0I have adulting down to such a skill that nobody thinks of me as anything other than a competent (if occasionally goofy) adult.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how I like it. \u00a0Because owning my own shit, the good and the bad, is important. \u00a0Took me a few years of therapy to get there, but I got there.<\/span><\/p>\n

But some days? \u00a0Some days, I really want to hand life – all the adulting shit – over to someone else and say \u201cyou take care of this, I can\u2019t deal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If anyone needs to join me, the password\u2019s SULK.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
