Honestly, I'm A Fucking Loser Who Probably Was Never Ready For Adulthood

This is a post about the confusions and vagaries of adulthood and whether you’re “doing right.” If you worry about or struggle with this, and want to read more, consider subscribing. if not, no worries.

I don’t know how best to convey this argument, because it’s uniquely personal to me and everyone feels differently about their adulthood based on a dozen or more factors and the timing of them, so let me just start where I can: recently.

Wife got her period again recently. Another failed month of attempting to be a biological dad. I’m pretty sure it’ll never happen for us at this point, which is disheartening and always makes you a little depressed. I always get down and think, “Why can’t I be normal?”
