So basically adulting is complicated. It consists of many parts or elements (balls to juggle). Or maybe its better to have a more positive attitude and view it as a journey, A book with many chapters.

When I first started thinking of this word and what to write the old pop song “Its Complicated” by

Avril Lavigne popped into my head.  I remember the line that sticks out the most  “Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?”~ Avril Lavigne

I can think of chapters in my story that I made things a lot more complicated than they need be. I can also think of relationships and feeling the need to conform to others expectations in order to fit in. The song outlines the importance of being our genuine selves and not changing and pretending to be someone else.

I can see this in myself trying to mold myself to feel accepted. But then I remember how much I loved that song

” Accepted”  by Degarmo & Key. I think there was a period of time I wore that cd out. Trying to focus on positivity and not let the negative thoughts keep me in the deep dark depression I was in.

Lets just say if you could see inside my head “Its complicated!!”
