When I was a little girl imagining my adult life,
Published by Sid December 13th, 2007 in life. Tags: No Tags.I envisioned having a fabulous job, coming home to an immaculate and stylish city apartment, being magically thin, and having friends over for yummy meals and clever salon conversation (look, I read a lot as a kid, okay? Sod off.).
I did NOT envision having the job I have (though I enjoy it and the people I work with very much), finishing up my workday having dumb Internet message board arguments with asshats, dragging myself to the gym in too-large pants and a concert tee that smells like sweat and yeast no matter how much I wash it, hauling myself an hour home and collapsing into my Aerobed at 10:30, sucking down a cup of applesauce and flat Pepsi on the way because I’m too tired to even heat a frozen meal.
Sighs.
I can always try for fabulous again tomorrow.
Hang in there… I think it is hard, at times, to reconcile the fantasy of adulthood with the often crappy and/or reality of everyday life. It is why I think people should try to create a little bit of that fantasy adulthood for themselves whenever they can allow it, whether its a nice meal or a day off or a little weekend getaway. So you can get a little bit of the life you want, ya know?
