Does anyone feel like an actual adult? - eviltoast

Even with a good career and all the “adult milestones” I don’t feel like an actual adult. I feel like I’m pretending to know what I’m doing. Anyone else experience this?

    Wake up, Jump out of bed excited for the day.

    Horrific crunching noise from your knee, and a snap from your back that sounds like an industrial 3 foot thick rubberband snapping quickly bringing you back to reality as you collapse against the foot of your bed in agony. shaky hand reaching desperately for the tylenol and bottle of water you keep on your nightstand just for this moment, before hobbling into the bathroom to take the first of several morning shits, each more horrific than the last.

    The spirit is willing, but the flesh is decrepit and aged beyond usefulness.

      Even worse, now Tylenol is dangerous for us abd we have to be very careful how much we ingest.

      We definitely need better human mechanics.

        except I still have to take tylenol because I cant take ibuprofen with certain medical conditions I have.

        and speaking of medical conditions, Holy fuck, why do we start collecting medical conditions like pokemon once we hit 30?

          They increase exponentially as you get older.
