Things I Thought Adults Would Know by Now (But Don’t)

 I really thought by this age I would:

Know what to cook every night without staring into the fridge like it personally offended me.

Understand money in a calm, spreadsheet, “yes this is all under control” kind of way. Not a “why does everything cost money” way.

Have a signature dinner party dish. Instead I have “things on plates”.

Feel like I know what I am doing. At anything. Instead, I am just googling things quietly and hoping for the best.

I thought adults just… knew stuff. Turns out we are all just tired people with responsibilities and a surprising number of passwords to remember.
