Hello Guys! Happy new week! Today I just need to vent please. What is this thing we call adulthood?

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Stressful!

Some days I don’t know if I need to laugh, cry (I hardly cry, I think I finished my crying capacityšŸ¤§šŸ’€) or scream at situations I am going through or have been through. Ah! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. One time you are good next thing, things are falling apart. Why?! I need answers please 😩.

Do not get me wrong ok, am I grateful for all I have? Yes! But within that there are plans made and goals set that just seem to get harder to achieve. Just hiccups on the way I know but still frustrating so I will ventšŸ˜©šŸ˜‚.

Let us not forget toxic working environments! Just sucks whatever energy left from you🫠 but you must still show up everyday with high energy to perform šŸ’€. I don’t understand.

Let’s also not forget money! The ridiculous expenses that pop up. You are minding your business next thing you get a tyre puncture. Some thousand gone.

What do I do to cope? Learnt to let things go. I really can’t control every outcome. I hibernate🫠. My favourite thing to do is hibernate. I just be at home all weekend or any chance I get šŸ˜‚. I love it. I also talk to loved ones, that’s calming and reassuring in a way for me.

I watched a couple of shows these past few weeks on Showmax. Watching a movie or Series can be calming just to relax. Take we weeks to finish a series because I will always fall asleep😓.

Lately, I have just been considering gym as a way to de-stress. Still considering it šŸ¤§šŸ’€ but I know I am lazy so, wish me luck.

I really hope we all get is right and find an amazing balance. I refuse to accept chaos as a norm 🤧.

How do you come with adulting?

Bold of you to think I’m coping šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Last few weeks of May were the worst! I was hit with a high unexpected bill from the past and I HAD to sort it out. I’ve been so miserable lately and even neglected my only coping mechanism-gym. But I’m feeling good now, I’m hopeful, I’m energized. I’m praying for a better time for us all moving forward. ā™„ļø

Cope? šŸ˜‚ I thank God for life sha, because I really do not know how I cope or if I even cope with this phase of adulting

Toxic work environments are the worst.

You can say that again. Worst part is you move from one organisation to another and it’s the same 😿😿
