\u2018Adulting\u2019 isn\u2019t hard if you allow yourself to enjoy the little perks that come with being an adult.<\/p>\n
Adulting is hard! <\/em>That is a complaint I\u2019ve heard far and wide across the vast majority of my peers. Nobody wants to deal with adult responsibilities like having a job to only make a living, paying bills, obtaining a mortgage, and then having to make payments on that mortgage, yikes! It\u2019s all extremely stressful, but nothing a glass of wine at the end of the day can\u2019t solve, right? Am I right? In all seriousness, I have been in the stressful bubble of everyday life, but I\u2019ve come to discover that as I get older I look more forward to the little perks that come with age and wisdom. These highlights have caused me to say plenty of times \u2018yes, these are the best years so far of my life.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t easy to get to this point though.<\/p>\n I suffered a lot of financial crisis and dealt with more crappy jobs and uphill climbs than I\u2019d have liked to. There were nights that the anxiety and stress would practically suffocate me, and it was almost impossible to see any silver lining. I often wondered if this how my life is always going to be? I couldn\u2019t see past the clouds into my future. My husband always instilled hope in me though by reassuring me that no, it wasn\u2019t always going to be like that. It was temporary, and I just had to be patient and trust that at some time in our lives we would find a point where it was okay to take a breath and relax a little. These moments took time to get to, but they are achievable. Here\u2019s a short list of how I\u2019ve managed to find joy at this time in my life.<\/p>\n
