&gt; What does it even mean to be an adult?<p>I&#x27;ve thought of that often. The more time went by the more I found the adults around me were ultimately fallible. The older I&#x27;ve gotten I&#x27;ve questioned my capacity as well. Am I being a good adult? What qualities to I aspire to have?<p>The people I see make it the farthest have the toughest hides. Life doesn&#x27;t just throw shit at you from time to time it is a waterfall of crap. There is never a right time and waiting for it doesn&#x27;t help. The adults I like the most set boundaries on life and work. They generally complain a great deal less. They have just as much to complain about, but choose not to waste time on trying to change the things they can&#x27;t.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Serenity_Prayer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Serenity_Prayer</a><p>O God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed,
The courage to change what can be changed,
and the wisdom to know the one from the other<p>I&#x27;ve fallen back to that recently. I&#x27;ve focused my energy on things that I can do to make a difference. For me, for my family and friends.<p>I haven&#x27;t figured it out. You&#x27;ve no doubt heard of the programmer&#x27;s imposter syndrome? Well I&#x27;m starting to believe that some of the best adults feel like adult imposters.<p>I could ramble for a while on this I guess.
