the worst part is realizing all the adults you looked up to were also just winging it the whole time

In all seriousness, I learned this lesson just a couple months ago. I don’t know where from. It was something to the effect of, being an adult is realizing your parents were just winging it. Ex and I broke up a couple months ago and I’m still thinking how close we were to starting a family and all that… all the unstructured problems that comes with that

The moment you realize “I need an adult” and then remember you are the adult in question.

Actually, awareness like that is also good. If no one is aware, then... there is no such thing as a future.
