Sick of adulting. I've been doing it since I was 15. Can I stop now I'm 54? Nope.


Philosophy of stoicism is helping me. I went to the mall today as I had to pick something up, and thought of Marcus Aurelius's words " When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they cannot tell good from evil."

Lol. The stoics believe in being kind to others, but to not to expect others to be kind or reasonable.

I must say when you are expecting the worst, people seem really nice!
