Week 6 — There’s no big announcement

I think the craziest thing about adulting is that there’s no big announcement. No one rings a bell to say nnụọ (welcome). It just happens. One moment you’re asking people around you for permission or advice, the next minute Nepa bill is your name and the landlord is now your landlord.

Take this post as your big announcement. If you’ve had to make adultier decisions in the last few months, or you keep wondering if at some point someone will clear you as ‘field certified’ to do life alone, this is that sign. No, your parents, aunties, and uncles weren’t perfect and didn’t have it all figured out. There were winging it, and so are you. So are we all.

Here’s your big announcement, anon.
