Hi!
Welcome to Talks With Tia!
Today’s blog post is about the struggles of becoming an adult.
I feel like it’s an important topic to talk about, as I want more people to feel less alone and understand how difficult it can be.
There are so many different reasons why becoming an adult can be challenging.
It’s such a big change, which really can shock you to your core.
You have to start paying taxes, being smart about money, suddenly expected to know it all and how to do it all.
All these things are just sprung on you at once and it can be really overwhelming.
I struggled a lot with the fact that people treated me differently.
Suddenly now I was 18, I was just supposed to know everything.
The real world can be very scary, especially when you leave the bubble of school.
You start to see how things really work and how it feels to start to really work too.
I think it’s really common to lose a lot of friends, once you leave school.
You become different people, want different things in life and also, realise that you expect different things.
If this is something that you’re currently struggling with, just remember that it’s okay, everything will work out.
You will find your people.
I think in the darkest and loneliest times, you figure out what you want from a friend, or a partner, what makes you happy and who you are deep down.
And once you start to figure out who you are, your people will find you.
Just like mine did, and all of you know who you are<3
I think the most important bit of advice I would give to someone either going to be an adult soon or are going through this change is… you are doing enough, and anything you need to figure out or learn about, just research.
Another thing I would advise, is learning about money and how to save and invest.
The earlier we are taught these things, the better chance we have of building a stable relationship with money. Something which is very important in adult life.
I found it extremely difficult to understand why adult life was the way that it was. And I think, in a slightly depressing way, you just kinda accept it for what it is.
But you obviously have to find beauty within that. And find what things in your life that are valuable to you.
I think there’s so much pressure, on knowing what you’re doing. How you present yourself to the world.
It’s okay to not know where you are, or where you’re heading because no one really does.
