I had my moments of “wow, adulthood is shit” but I’m trying to change that.
I feel like life is shit in general, regardless of age. The reason youthfulness seems better to me is the lack of understanding how the world really works. Joy can be had at any age though, I find more joy today than I did as a kid. I'm 42 and just got back from the skate rink with my daughter and wife and we all had huge smiles and fun the whole time. There's always moments of shit but also of happiness. What you focus on determines how you feel IME.
Honestly, being an adult is pretty similar to being a kid, except you have more freedom. I still have to spend 8 hours a day doing something I don't particularly love, except on weekends where I get 2 days of free time. I have to take the results of what I've done all day and turn them in to other people (homework = bills), but there's a little leftover for fun time/stuff.
Here's the big difference, and why nobody can ever convince me that childhood is superior to adulthood - if I decide to make bad choices and have ice cream for dinner, or stay up until 2am on a weeknight, nobody is going to say shit.
The freedom of adulthood that allows ME to decide if I want to make a choice I know will hurt me later is the best part. IDGAF what anyone says, sometimes I want pancakes and ice cream for dinner.
The best part is yet to come: you'll get sick and then you'll die. Alone. In the rain.
Like tears in the rain…
