“One Illusion About Adulthood That Completely Shattered For You?”
Heyyyyaaa My Lovely Community💖
How are you all? I hope you are keeping up well amidst a deep dark well😂
There are so many illusions we come across while we enter adulthood. But sometimes we never consciously think on that. We accept them as the reality.
Today, I give you a platform to share all your thoughts and feelings about what you have heard recently and feel it's an illusion.
I will go first, "You will stop caring what others think" and the reality?
Until you post a story and delete it in 30 seconds because it does not feel "cool enough"
Right? If not, I am impressed.
Let's go with one more, "Mental clarity will come with age"
Correction: You just learn to coexist with confusion.
When stepping into the realm of adulthood, we need to be aware of what we got to unlearn only to learn better.
Adulthood isn’t a chapter, it’s a genre: part drama, part horror, full-time comedy.
Your turn! What illusion about adulthood smacked you the hardest? Let’s hear the chaos😎
Let’s make this thread a reality check corner.
We’re all figuring it out—so why not figure it out together? No judgements, only "same bro" vibes😁
Here's your chance, here you go, 1,2,3! Boom!

' People hurt others because they were hurt first ' I mean I kinda get it, but it's not a excuse. And once you been hurt you know exactly how it feels so why would you do it to someone else? I would never ever hurt anyone
@Tinywhisper11
Wohooooo! That's so deep and what an amazing trait about your personality your response reveals Whisper💖You are such a kind compassionate heart. I definitely agree with you, people who have been hurt mirror the same wounds for somebody else if they don't cure and heal them.
People who fill themselves with love and empathy after going through the hurt, pain and suffering, they are the ones like you💓who transform their pain into passion for spreading love to mankind. They don't hold back giving love and standing kind because they know somebody needs to start. Because people like you know that the world becomes a better place with one positive heart who has the courage to turn their wounds into consideration for people.
I love you so much💖May God bless you always.
@resilience2025 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗 I love you 💗
"If you work hard, you can make your dreams come true."
The reality of this as I've been seeing it lately is that to say that (^up there) is a minimization. There's a thousand other factors to success and realizing your dreams. To start, think about things like luck, social support, access to resources, professional support/education, mental clarity, time demands/pressures, financial demands/pressures, tradeoffs, family or health stressors, and etcetera. And they absolutely have to be accounted for!
Don't get me wrong, hard work has its merits. There's nothing like hard work to show you what you're capable of, what you're good at, to make you aware of your limits, and to give you some cool points at your next social outing. However.... don't work yourself to the bone people. Performance is not the most important thing! In fact... if you work too hard, people might try to find ways to make you work even harder. And that's not fair... or right.
So please make sure that you make some time to enjoy the other aspects of life. Set some boundaries and check-in protocols for yourself. And before you think about spending another hour to optimize or become a hyper-efficient productivity junkie, please call up someone you haven't in a while for no good reason, watch an episode of your favorite tv show that you've been denying yourself, or swing by to a local event just cause.
It's a big world out there as I'm sure you know, don't work yourself into a tunnel and go get to experience it. Good luck!

That's really really deep🩷🩷Reddi.
I certainly agree with you that there are a lot of factors apart from hard work that determines success and achievements in life. Everything that you stated are important aspects to take into consideration.
However we also need to know what are the things we have complete control over and what we cannot control. For example, luck is something we cannot control. Social pressure is something we cannot chose but we can definitely chose how we respond to it and how we take it to our advantage for stepping one more stair towards success.
I really love that line, Performance is not the most important thing in life. Sometimes we just need to be raw and real as we are. Just be as we are. Being is a very important part of sustainable and happy living. And I am so proud of you for realising this since it takes years for people to realise this.
Rest and recovery, giving ourselves all the love in life is very important💖
As far as people making you work even harder if we work hard, yes, because they know that your potential is beyond normal. Because what you can do nobody else can. And sometimes, having boundaries works💖
What do you say? I would love to hear your views on it.
Thank you for this amazing expression. It was really insightful.
