Some days there is no escaping the dreaded "adulting" of life. We all have them. Days where we work entirely too many hours or have the oh so fun dentist appointment — you know the ones where despite your entire mouth being numb, you decide to skip into the market to grab a simple dinner and end up inevitably running into your ex! This seems to be a universal law along with one sock of each pair disappearing inside the dryer.
Those days you are so frazzled it takes you way too long to figure out why he/she continues making some bizarre motion on their face. That puzzle is quickly solved horrified with a glance in your rearview mirror. There are several universal laws. One of the biggest of of these is where one sock from each pair will inevitably disappear into your dryer.
Another biggie, you can count on. Putting it politely, when the day comes where you stand face to face with your ex, you will be visually impaired in some capacity. Brace yourself, as it can happen in many forms, I was simply fortunate to have blood and drool cascading like Niagara Falls.
Adulting is tough. Let me rephrase that, I do not think one single teenager was prepared for the amount of "adulting" that was about to come upon them after finishing high school. I know I for sure was not.
I mean let's face it, I am pretty sure that some days all that is getting me through the day is a big chocolate bar and some "Vanderpump Rules." Life is life, and I do not think we will ever have it figured out like Lisa Vanderpump really does, but I'd be lying if I said I was not going to give it all I had.
That day where you forget your laptop charger at home and are trying to survive that hour and a half class on 10%. Or when you forget you rainjacket and forget there is a monsoon coming your way.
I could go on and on, trust me. However, I think once you come to terms with the fact that life can be crazy and embarrassing, you stop taking the easy things for granted. You stop trying to become a "perfect" you. You embrace the good and the bad and you grow up, well because that's the only choice you have. Hallelujah!
So, some days if all you want to do is lay in your bed and cuddle with your dog, do it. If you can not make yourself go back and check your chemistry homework for the 15th time, just say forget it. I am a firm believer that we can get through life together and happy once we realize we all have different versions of happy.
So Mondays, flat tires, and pop quizzes, you thought you were going to win, but I think I've got the "slap of life" covered now.
