Adulting, is the source of a step by step program to get yourself into a mental place where you can confidently think of yourself as a grown up. You may laugh, but most people under forty without kids seriously have a hard time thinking of themselves as adults.
Independent? Certainly. Old enough to drink? Hell yes.
But adults? Responsible people who have their stuff together and can support themselves/others?
Hardly.
I must confess, I'm one of those people. I have a wonderful job, a lovely apartment, and volunteer etc galore.. but I'm still a bit bemused when teenager's ma'am me , and invisibly panic when I forget to do things to prep for guests that apparently are now expected now that I'm no longer a a starving student; like having Nice Towels and A Real Bed and Extra Toothbrushes just in case they need them.
So. Adulting. Wonderful. Even being made into a book in the next few years. Check it out.
Take today's topic.

Step 179: Stop enjoying things ironically. Just enjoy them.
Step 254: When apologizing, consider whether you are doing it for them or for yourself.. If your apology is just goint go disrupt their lives ato make your feel less guilty for whatever you did, swallow it and move on. Your error, your guilt.
