This is What Being an Adult Feels Like
I didn’t really get anything last year. My mom bought me some conditioner about a month ago (to be fair, it’s from Body Shop and I’d asked for it.) and my dad didn’t get me anything. But I’m not really that surprised or disappointed.
I lost my job in May and had to move in with them and this has been a financially difficult year for them, so I knew not to expect anything. I’m not even all that sad, really, it’s just sobering. This is what being an adult feels like. But if my Christmas present is not being homeless AND my parents agreeing to take in my cats as well? That works.
So if we’re going to call it what it is, this year I got a heaping dose of harsh reality coupled with adulthood. And yeah, it kinda sucks. Story credit: Reddit/possiblymyfinalform
