I am no longer a child or a teenager. I am 26 years old now, sadly. I should already have my own income. My father and my mother are aging, and they will go... Or... maybe I'll just be trapped inside endless... endless... endless... hardship.

Navigating Adulthood
All my childhood, with how I held myself, I always ran ahead of time. Then, at one moment, I stopped to catch my breath, and when I wanted to start again, life had already passed me by. -
While I ate cake at a family gathering: Thoughts on family
I stood in the corner, a paper plate with a slice of cake in my lap. My eyes widened with confusion. Looking around me, I realized: I don’t know that many happy families.https://mylittlehawk.com/2026/08/11/while-i-ate-cake-at-a-family-gathering-thoughts-on-family/

"[...] somewhere between “Let’s catch up soon” and “Sorry, life has been hectic”, adult friendship became one of the most emotionally significant and least discussed losses of modern life. [...] Friendship, however, has always depended on a certain irrational generosity. A willingness to waste time together magnificently. To listen to the same anxiety for the fifth time. To sit through silence. To remain available without agenda."

This is the last video in my series on developmental psychology. It includes a close tie to philosophy, because while explaining all the stages of adulthood, and wisdom (usually associated with old age). I also discuss dying, from the perspective of the dying person, and the mourners who remain.

What a great read. Hard, but great.
This expresses a lot of why I don't like adulthood.
As adults, we need to prioritize and optimize everything that we do, because life is hard in its own way. And quite frankly, I hate it. It's filled with ridiculous priorities.
Even to stay connected with your own children can be a struggle if life is rough. And they live under your roof. This is crazy.If there is one thing that AI could bring that I would be OK with, is to get rid of all those ridiculous priorities and hardness so we can keep friendship with those who really understand you.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

"Adulthood, it turns out, is nothing more than dreaming as a child about 'when I grow up I'll be able to go to bed whenever I want,' and then, as an adult, praying 'I wish I could go to sleep at 10 PM.' We've been fooled, folks."

my unpopular #opinion is that you can truly blame your shitty #parents for a lot of your #issues well into #adulthood and have it be valid. the whole "taking #accountability for your own #problems" thing doesn't apply to the people who made you then failed you during your most formative years and the results that come from that. this is quite literally your fault and the #consquences of your actions

The Journey of Adulthood 9ed by Barbara R. Bjorklund, 2019
The Journey of Adulthood continues to capture the dynamic process of adult development from early adulthood to the end of life. Its core is made up of research findings from large-scale projects and major theories of adult development, but it also reflects smaller studies of diverse groups, showing the influences of gender, culture, ethnicity, race, and socioeconomic background on this journey.
