What’s something about being an adult that hit way harder than you expected?

Not the bills or taxes, those I expected. I mean the weird, quiet stuff no one warns you about. Like friendships fading, or having to invent your own structure, or realizing no one is keeping track of how you’re doing (or care for that matter). What is a good structure to work towards stabilizing and keeping life more “maintained”?

    It’s bad when you’re young, but fuck it sucks as an adult

    When I put something down, it stays there. 22 years with people cleaning up after you, it’s kind of mind blowing to realize that someone was looking at the other whole time.
