Adulting

Why do things have to change?

I get it's just a natural process of life, & it’s inevitable 

But....

I don't like it!

Makes me feel uneasy.

For instance I can't seem to get my head around my kids growing up.

Like why is that necessary?  

I have 3 teens and my youngest is 8 … going on 18!

Everyday i’m like where has the time gone?

Why do you now look like that?

When did life get to this stage?

At times I still feel young myself, like a kid playing house... with all these responsibilities.

Then I'm like...

Actually Alecia you're the adult!!

I’m like ugh.. why?

Makes me think of the quote

“I don’t want to “adult” today!” Yep! that's me!

I remember how I watched my parents adult.

Working, raising me and my sister, being there for their siblings… parents… friends

Dealing with losing loved ones… then burying their own parents.. How they navigated through it all…. so strange how that’s me now.. kinda hard to get my head around.

Life’s done a whole 360 turn & now here I am

navigating my way through...

Even though most of the time I have no idea what i'm doing.. (does anyone)

I guess that's just part of this crazy beautiful thing we call LIFE.

Totally unpredictable, a world wind at times & definitely an emotional rollercoaster full of laughter, tears & joy.

Personally I just take it one day at a time..

Otherwise the overthinker in me takes over and I just wanna take a big old nap.

I do know God has a perfect plan for me… he does for us all, he knows what he's doing, even at times I question it..but he does.

And as my amazing Dad said “the best is yet to come”
