I fucking hate being an adult

How the fuck do y’all deal with this for 60 years? Everyone tells u life gets better after high school. But HOW? Like this is the most bland depressing shit u could imagine. Work with the same 3-10 people that u have nothing in common with for 40 hours a week. Come home. Do stuff outside alone cause u aren’t in school anymore. Go to bed. Repeat.

Like there’s nothing to look forward to anymore on a day to day basis 

Alright, it’s time for a wake-up call. Being an adult means taking responsibility for your own life and happiness.

No one’s going to hold your hand and guide you through it anymore. You want friends? You want hobbies? You want excitement? Well, guess what – it’s on you to make it happen.

Parkinson’s Law is a concept introduced by Cyril Northcote Parkinson, a British historian and author, in 1955. It states, “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

Man Reveals His Tenents For Maintaining a Successful Relationship

To begin with, we’re extremely compatible.

Part of this probably luck, but certainly not all of it. I was extremely intentional in dating. From around 18 I knew I was dating to find someone I would marry. I never stayed in a relationship for fun or to not be alone. And I had the very realistic understanding that Love does not conquer all. When I realized something between a GF & I that I felt would create a compatibility issue, would be likely to be a point of contention in the future, I moved on.
