Letter 22/24: Zero

 Hello 2024, 


How are you? How are the kicks of a horse on their way out? 😂 Askies. What if next year is you just 2.0? 🤣


This reflection is dedicated to everyone younger than me. I’m giving free advice. Take it now or wish you had in a few years. 


I discovered so many things when I became an adult. Like how there’s barely any glits or glam. Like how responsibilities are hectic. Like how so many things here you figure out as you go. It’s basically one big “members only” club that you get to figure out once you’re there. 


Growing up, we used to tease adults based on things they were known for. Look here dear youngsters…I am volunteering to be that auntie who is known for what I’m about to share with you here. 


When we tell you adulting is a scam, believe us. It’s not because we’re sitting on top of the pyramid and don’t want people to join. Heyi! 


I honestly rate adulthood with a whooooing zero. There are no off days here and there’s no union rep to plead your case. You will just join multiple support groups. All trying to figure out how to enjoy and accept fatigue in peace. That and a body which can drop you at any time of the month. 


Enjoy your youth. Yidla ubutsha bakho! Enjoy not being the adult in the room. One day you’ll look around and only find your reflection staring back at you. 


It sucks here. Delay catching this flight…
