Adulthood Is Draining | Can't It Be Better

Nowadays, if anyone pop up the "Do you still wish to be a child if you can change back time" question, I will gladly say a big yes as an answer to such questions. I really want to go back to the babyhood moment, I don't have to do anything other that to sleep, eat, play around, eat and sleep again, no long thought about anything, no worries, no responsibilities, I really enjoyed my childhood days because apart from school palava, I do use the rest to joke around but come to think of it, those days, I always wish I enter the adult age just to know how things are and now I don't want adulthood anymore.

Just like one of the song a lady that reign last year "Adulthood na scam", we can't agree less because it is what it is, adulthood is really a scam, it is not the way we really figure it to be, I can say, I have my life planned out back then, my plan was to be done with secondary school by age 15, university by 19-20 at most, one year nysc and straight to practicing what I studied in school and by 23 I should be a millionaire and getting ready for marriage and with my current age based on what I draft out back then,I should be with 2kids already. I'm really laughing out loud right now while remembering all those stuff because right now even though some went according to plan, I don't even have someone to call mine talkless of having those 2 kids, infact anytime they bring up the you don't have a girl/marriage discussion, I always dodge it like the day I do dodge bullet in codm.

The main challenge I face as an adult, like the important one is Responsibilities, like when I have to sit down to just think about that aspect, always give this deep sigh, the one coming in everyday and the future ones which are yet to show face, some of us have siblings looking up to us especially when you are the first male and the daddy of the house, you siblings will be in your dm almost everyday just to ask for something, it is always I wan't to get this and that and no matter how you run or try to dodge, they will always come back and if you don't give, they will always see you as the stingy brother which isn't a good thing, well my brothers once said it to my face that I'm stingy all because I tried to dodge his request, couldn't blame him though because once he reach my stage, he will understand.

Most times, I have to just invest any money that comes my way, reduce my spending habit all because one need to generate more streams of income and the more the income, the more the responsibilities or stuff to take care of, at times I do wish money can fall from heaven like mannas or we should have money trees where we can just pluck from it. Adulthood is really draining and I just wish I can sit down and someone should be taking care of me.
