Adulthood Is a Scam

You may have the chisel to shape yourself, but the hammer that strikes it has always been in someone else’s hands, whether you were a child or an adult.

Adulthood is the power to shape your own destiny, I would never want to go back to being a kid.

Exactly. Had to fight my ass off just to get some sleep, and sleep finally showed me mercy at 4 AM most day. The worst part is no matter how exhausted I am, my brain decides 6 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to wake up..

When you’re a kid, the seat only has to carry your weight. As an adult, it has to carry the weight of your entire family’s problems. £3 well spent

Why am I paying £3 extra for a seat at the cinema because I'm over 18? It's the same goddamn seat.

Biggest lie i've been told is that being school smart will benefit you in the long run

If you don’t have money as an adult then that’s on you. Being able to afford nice Airbnbs instead of sharing a house with protective parents and a bunch of siblings. Being able to afford a hooker a day instead of binge watching porn. Being able to wake up refreshed every day instead of an alarm. Being free to choose who to spend time with instead of forced into a class with a bunch of annoying kids … is so much better.

For me, adulthood is paradise

When I was a kid, I thought being an adult meant:

Having money
Buying whatever I wanted
Sleeping whenever I wanted
Nobody telling me what to do

Now that I'm an adult:

Checking my bank balance before ordering food
Getting excited when plans get cancelled
Sleeping early but still waking up tired
Opening the fridge every 10 minutes like new food is going to spawn

And the worst part?

As a kid, I wanted to grow up fast.

Now I want to go back and spend some more time with my friends.

What's the biggest scam about being an adult that nobody warned you about?

As a kid, I thought adults had all the answers. Turns out, they just say “let me check” and google it in another room.
