Being a grownup is hard. So many decisions and weight of ethics and moral value. Wanting to make dumb choices but choosing the more boring or safer because it is "the adult thing to do." It is not always as much fun and glamorous as I imagined it would be as a child. I used to view grownups as I did the movies. Living freely and with this spark of life incomparable to any other. I tried to rush my life to that status as quick as possible. Which could be part of why I started my career at the age of 19. I have always been somewhat of an old soul so I don't really know why I felt like when I REALLY became an adult, it would change what I knew. OHHHHH how I was mistaken. Its so much different than I imagined. Decisions are hard. Responsibilities are hard. Reacting to conflict is hard. You can't just yell and scream at someone like children do when you get upset or frustrated. You are expected to have control and tact...Okay, so this is not at all the way I planned this blog to go. Haha! I guess I should look into my feelings of adulthood, eh? My point is to bring it back full circle and say SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD! Sometimes it is that fun and glamorous life I once dreamed it could be.
Last night I threw a dinner party for a few of my friends. It was so wonderful. The menu consisted of a bruschetta bar for appetizers, chicken alfredo for the main course and honey mint roasted peaches with ice cream and triple gingersnap cookies for dessert. I had an absolute blast making it all happen and come together. When everyone showed up and the wine corks popped out, I felt this blissful feeling of, yeah..life is good. I was happy. Sometimes good food, good friends and Trader Joe's wine really can bring happiness. That is all it takes. Cheers!
