I'm calling myself an adult in transition, i was so foolish to call myself an adult when I was 18

I'm going to be 24 tomorrow and I still don't know how to adult properly.

I know that feeling. I'm 23, and I feel like such an utter incompetent.

@RemovedUsername8862 I don't feel incompetent, I'm doing the best I can. It's just that growing is pretty hard.

@offingg Good on you! It is hard, but I'm sure that you can do it!

I beat myself up a lot, partially due to depression, and how hard growing up is doesn't help. At the worst points, it sometimes feels like I haven't truly grown since I was in middle school.

@RemovedUsername8862 Hmm, I think what you're feeling is similar to that feeling you have when you studied so hard for the test and think that you can't remember anything but you actually do. Trust me, there is no way you didn't learn so much since then, even if it doesn't feel like it.

And yeah, depression is an old buddy of mine. I get it.

@offingg It's a horrible dark sea indeed. And yeah, I know that objectively, but sometimes I just fuck up in some childish way and it seems like nothing's really changed.
