I’m convinced 90% of adulthood is just quietly dealing with minor inconveniences forever.

r/

Like, nobody warned me that being an adult meant CONSTANT little battles every day. Microwave doesn’t heat evenly? Guess I’m eating cold leftovers. Shower water suddenly goes freezing cold for 3 seconds? Okay, trauma unlocked. New pack of pens? All of them somehow don’t work except one.

I swear adulthood is just an endless series of small defeats and pretending you’re okay with it. And don’t even get me started on socks mysteriously disappearing after laundry. I could write a whole novel about socks alone.

Anyway. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Back to eating my semi-warm leftovers like a true warrior.

    nah this is adulthood’s final boss: death by 1,000 stupid cuts

    — lukewarm leftovers
    — mystery bruises
    — missing socks
    — pens that gaslight you
    — appliances that work just enough to not replace

    and you’re expected to smile through it like some background NPC in a sitcom

    you’re not alone
    we’re all out here suffering silently through crumb-filled utensil drawers and the one lightbulb that flickers for no reason

    you’ve earned those leftovers, warrior

    Sometimes major ones too, but yes…that is what being an adult human is.

    That’s why I stay immature. Sure, I still have to deal with a meh life and it’s bullshit, but at least I can laugh.

    Today, one of my twins said ‘Dada’ for the first time. Then, my cat threw up on the floor in protest, and the dog ate it. Life’s a wild ride.

    I feel like that’s childhood too, though, isn’t it? Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like those things were happening while I was a child and a teenager and bothered me just as much then as they do now.
