Adulthood is Hard

Adulthood is hard. I think the second we graduate from college or decide to go out into the real world, it is expected that we know exactly what we want to do and we have to immediately be successful at it.

To me, this is an unrealistic expectation.

When I graduated college everyone was immediately getting jobs and loving life and I thought I would soon follow.

I didn't.

It took me a few months to get a job and once I found one that I thought I would be an amazing fit with, I didn't like it at all. It wasn't the company whatsoever. The people were great and I was learning things, its just not where I needed to be.

So here we are back to square one with a lot of stress.

I put a lot of pressure on myself. I want to be successful, but I also want to be able to enjoy myself and be happy with my life. My work life was hurting my personal life. I was constantly unhappy and a lot of small things would make me very upset.

Taking care of yourself first became a big part of what I needed to do and I did it. I am actively looking and can't wait to find something that will make me happy in every aspect.
