Everyone's Obsessed With 'Adulting' And I'm Tired Of Pretending I Give A Fuck
I had my first quarter-life crisis this year. While traveling Southeast Asia, I contracted a nasty case of Dengue Fever and spent a week cooped up in a hotel room in Cambodia, wondering if I was doing it all wrong. You see, for a long time I was doing adulthood right.

Adulting is so boring! I'm 32 and I don't think I'm doing adulthood "right" but I don't give a fuck either!
I'm all for people living whatever life fits them, but it never even occurred to me I ought to have or want any of those things in my 20s. (Or 30s for that matter.) I was lucky bc my family didn't care if I got married/had kids and none of my friends were looking for those things either. But also, there was a sense among us those demands were out of date.
Has this changed, or is it just me? Suddenly, I feel there's more pressure--now? again?--for people in their 20s to be on a track.
I don't adult well and don't give a fuck. Yay OP!
