Tweets About Being An Adult That Are Almost As Real As Your Hatred For It
We must all face the inevitable fact that we are going to become grown-ups. When we are kids, we can't wait for this to happen, but then once we get here we would do anything to do back.
There is comfort in knowing that the way you hate being an adult is the way that everyone hates being an adult. At least we can all be miserable in solidarity.

You're Going To Regret So Much From Your Childhood

We Have All Had Enough
At a certain point, you and your friends will stop talking about things that are fun and you'll start talking about all the parts of your body that hurt and your middle age coworker who is actually pretty sweet.
The Sooner You Know Your Best Days Have Gone By, The Better
You'll never be able to feel that same joy you felt as a child as an adult. It just isn't possible. Maybe you'll do cool things like get married or find a dream job, but there will still be the underlying feeling of dread.

It's going to be hard to stay the same person you are and be a whole adult. You start making little sacrifices that turn into big ones and then you eventually wonder, 'how did I get here?'

Basically This
At least one time in your adult life, you're going to want to lock yourself into a room and just scream into the abyss. It's honestly worth it, you'll feel so much better.
Imagine They Made A Never Button?
Your computer is so needy. It's always going to be on you for doing updates and not supporting your other devices because your updates aren't done. It's honestly an exhausting merry go round.

Being an adult is like getting to see the Mona Lisa. It's not even close to as big or easy to get to as the world would have wanted you to believe.
