Is Adulthood Just Boring?

Nobody tells you how boring being a grown-up can be….

Not dramatic boring….Just Boring….Taxes. Insurance. Mortgage. Bills. Passwords. Renewals…Emails that all somehow are super urgent!!!

And you can’t fully REBEL!

Drink too much? You’ll feel it.  
Eat too much? NO!  
Stay up too late? Forget it.  
Sleep, water, stretching, flossing, supplements….Don’t you skip them!

But finally, you are in CHARGE…

*This needs sorting,* and then do it. No permission slips. No waiting for someone else. You are the adult.

I was thinking about this watching a video about cities’ infrastructure. Some cities get snow every year and still act shocked. Transport collapses. Everything stops. Panic. Chaos.

And then there’s Helsinki.

Helsinki gets snow and plans for it in advance and in a sustainable way…Systems designed by people who know winter will arrive and planned accordingly. Snow falls. Snow is cleared. Life continues. No panic. No fuss. 

And that’s hot.

Being the Adult that gets shit done is sexy.

Book tickets early. Grab the right train. Coordinate the group chat. 

Bring healthy snacks. 

Pack wipes, clothes, batteries, small miracles. 
Fix a broken process before anyone realises it was broken.  
Notice a leak, a blocked path, a missing bin, just sort it.  
Organise the birthday, the trip, the delivery, the pick-up, the check-in, the follow-up – you’re in control, baby!

Improving Life – it’s hot, it’s adulthood done right and far from boring...
