So this week's blog home work from @missy & @rambo is "what part of being an adult were you absolutely not prepared for?"
This one is kind of hard for me because I had a tough childhood in which I had to grow-up fast so I was pretty prepared for adulthood, in a sense.
If I were to nail down a part of adulthood that didn't come easy to me, it probably be accepting who I am and what makes me happy. The majority of my adulthood I spent trying to do the "right" thing and be the best, most acceptable form of "normal." Needless to say, I was flippin' miserable living like that.
I wish I had someone I looked up to that encouraged me to do what made me happy and that I'd still have worth regardless of what it was. I wasted way too many years trying to please other people and not myself and I deeply regret that. This is why I always tell my younger siblings, "there's nothing you SHOULD be doing besides not harming others. If you enjoy something, do it regardless of what you think you 'should' be doing."
