The word adult means absolutely nothing.

Remember the time when you turned 18? You finally turned into an adult, you suddenly were allowed to sit at the big table to talk about serious things

Remember the time when you turned 18? You finally turned into an adult, you suddenly were allowed to sit at the big table to talk about serious things. Life was about to start and you felt like the man. Well, you felt like that until you finally spent some time with those adults. They weren’t so mature as you first thought they would be. They haven’t much too talked about and their actions are far from adulthood worthy. This is sad right? I mean their egos get bigger and bigger but their thinking capability diminishes. That’s something that I’ve seen with a lot of people.

The word adult means absolutely nothing. It’s a hollow word and here’s why.  

The word adult means absolutely nothing.

Most adults are freaking arrogant and question nothing.

Ever seen a little kid question something that an adult said? Ever seen how angry they get when they’re suddenly in a position where they would lose an argument against a little kid or just someone younger? They get angry because their ego can’t handle it. So try to win the argument by telling the other person that they should listen to them because they’re the adult. I have one simple message for these people. Age is just a number and doesn’t reflect your wisdom. You don’t get smarter by aging. You get smarter by using your brain. This mentality is arrogant but it doesn’t stop here.

Some adults can’t even challenge their own beliefs (which is pretty important in life). They just follow the herd and keep on doing it even if it makes no sense or even if it’s not even healthy. I have no clue why people tend to do this or maybe I do. Maybe we’re not designed to get out of our comfort zones. Maybe it’s something that we’ve got to learn. It’s a great experience to get out of your comfort zone, I can guarantee you that.

Most adults envy things and other irrelevant stuff.

Most people only care about money, fame, stuff, and things on social media (stuff like likes, followers, etc). People think that all these things will lead to happiness but they don’t. All of those things have one thing in common, they provide you momentary happiness and you have to keep on buying new things or please people to have the same feeling. You’ll feel empty in the end. You’ll be everything besides happy. It’s dangerous to link your ego and happiness to stuff and still, so many people do it.

Can you guess who acts like this as well? Little kids when they’ve got to share their favorite toy. It’s ‘their’ toy and no one else’s. So they have to learn to share and most people unlearn this important lesson.

Let me put it this way.

You’re not your car. It’s just a toy.

You’re not the likes and followers on your social media page(s).

But who are you then? Well, you are you and I suggest that you take up some self- development if you can’t look at yourself in the mirror.

Most adults can’t handle their own lives and liquor.

Most adults can’t handle life. Their endless victims and constantly blame other people. You don’t solve a single thing by doing it but somehow they manage to keep on doing it. These people are never happy and constantly hate online on others. It’s sad but that’s what some adults do to kill time. There’s a reason why I never comment or read comment sections, I don’t want to argue with these people. But it doesn’t end there. Most people hate their job and that’s why they complain so damn much. But they have a pretty simple solution to kill all the negative feelings. It’s called the weekend. So you get drunk twice and cure from on hangover on Sunday. To this day on I still don’t get that people can live like this.

No wonder that they’re going broke, they drink all their money away. The money can be invested in better things but those people just choose to escape their reality.

Most adults avoid responsibilities like the plague.

Part of being an adult is taking up responsibility. You can’t claim that you’re an adult if you don’t want it and most people don’t want it. They want Netflix and chill without paying a single bill.  They want all the fun but avoid all the fewer fun parts. That’s just not how it works in life. You won’t get far if you don’t take up your responsibilities. You can fuck around all you want but how can you expect to start a business, a better life or maybe a sports career? All your energy goes to partying and chasing girls. It’s even worse if you keep on flirting with other girls all the time if you’re in a serious relationship. I have one simple message to all the guys who avoid all their responsibilities.

Litlle boy, step up, shut up and man up. You’re not tough. You’re not cool. Everybody can act irresponsible but how many people can man up and take full responsibility for their own life? It takes balls to do it. I can guarantee you that one.

“for he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”

Just think about it.

Most adults can’t handle failure and adversity.

Ever seen adults handle their failures/adversity or the ones from others? They shy away from their problems and they laugh at others when they fail. This just proves that they’ve got a weak mindset. But this results in some weird parenting as well. They punish kids for failing a test so these kids link failure to a bad feeling. They’re conditioned to feel bad after they’ve failed. No wonder that most adults can’t’ handle it. Failure can only be bad according to adults while it isn’t if you find out why you failed.

This reminds me of the time that I dropped out of college. Most people told me that my life was officially over, others just ditched me because they didn’t want to hang out with a loser. So many people judged me because I didn’t have a clue what I want in life but do they know? I assume they don’t but they still judged me anyways.

It’s still one of the best things that ever happened to me, funny right?! You just have to change your perspective and then you can change your life. Or you can complain a whole day on Facebook and hope that people give you some attention. That’s a possibility as well but it’s not what grown-ups do.

In conclusion: adults.

I didn’t even cover everything and I already had a pretty long blog post. Maybe we should make a difference between grown-ups and fuck ups? Your age doesn’t mean shit. The fact that you’re grown-up doesn’t mean shit. Your actions show if you’re grown-up or not. Nothing more and nothing less. You can try to convince me otherwise but I already know what I’m going to say.

“I’m not impressed by your performance.” Say it with le GSP voice.

    Hi Alex,

    I really like your blog and it’s topics. However, I notice that you often point a finger at people who don’t make good life choices without suggesting what you, as the blog writer, think are better alternatives.

    There are suggestions you offer, such as books, but the tone of your posts is critical to modern society.

      Hi Adel, glad you like it. Thanks for letting me know how they come across. But it’s true, I’m pretty critical about our modern day society.
