I realized adulthood is just being tired in different places

As a kid, I thought adults had everything figured out.

Real talk, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s why opinions are all over the place Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

From my side, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet. Others will probably see it differently.
