Adulting

Adulting is...

Knowing the right shade of lipstick

Changing your hair color

Wearing 3-inch heels

Fussing over daily attires

It's about trying new resto's

And foods you could only look back in high school

And knowing your budget

And deductions and taxes

And it's more complicated

Like knowing what not to say

And all those unwritten rules

And being selfish and selfless at the same time

You gotta know responsibilities

Whilst thinking of the future

And noticing that

Time is so much faster now

Adulting is so much harder

Than what my younger self ought it to be

Realizing that having a job

Doesn't solve everything

And there's self-control

And there's management

You gotta fix yourself too

While you're at it

And fear grows twice faster than age

The things you don't know scares you

The future, the people around you

The dissappointments, the expectations

You'll wish to escape

You'll wish to turn back time

But time cannot turn back

And moving forward is the choice you have.

Comfort yourself if you must

Life goes on till we turn to dust

Until then accept life

And all the things that come to pass
