A Bookmark Near the End

He loves history. He wanted to write a biography of John Quincy Adams. I, shamefully, knew almost nothing about John Quincy Adams, so I went online and bought every biography of him I could find. One day, he called me, claiming that we wouldn’t work out long term. He said he loved me but that we had different interests. “What does love mean to you?” I said. “That’s an impossible question,” he replied. I, however, find love to be quite simple. Love is the stack of biographies on my nightstand with a bookmark near the end. — Julia Nicole Camp

Gandalf, materialising in my conscience, smiling kindly: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil.

For those of you who aren’t aware the Monterey Bay Aquarium is actually a really cool place!

• they have a living kelp forest!

• it focuses on local ocean wildlife

• they were the first aquarium to get a great white shark to eat and they are the only public aquarium to display a great white shark for more than sixteen days

So yeah support them, they’re awesome and I love them

This is some truth laid down right here boy.

[quasi-normalcy]

Millennials have essentially been forced into a perpetual teenagerhood by socioeconomic circumstance, we desperately want to grow up, and we’re worried that we’re running out of time to do so

[loryer496]

interestingly, i feel like the opposite - i’ve grown up, unwillingly and unprepared to do so, and i want more time to figure my shit out before i’m ready to be seen as an adult. i’m almost 36.

[sufficientlylargen]

Oh man, I know that feeling.

I’ve seen a lot of older people scoff at the word “adulting”, but pretty much everyone my age or younger that I’ve talked to about it knows exactly what it means and feels it keenly, and I wonder if on some level this is because many older people think of “adult” as just an age category - one you’re in your twenties you’re an adult, by definition, and so anything you do is “adulting”, also by definition. But to our generation and younger ones, there are a bunch of things we associate with adulthood; it varies based on culture, socioeconomic status, etc. but everyone I know seems to have at least one thing that they think of as an “adult” thing - maybe having a steady job, or owning a car, or having time to go big with your hobbies, or having the energy for activism, or raising 2.5 kids in a nuclear family with a white picket fence in the suburbs, or even just going grocery shopping regularly instead of “in a panic because you’re out of toilet paper” - that they not only don’t have, but can’t even really imagine having.

And so we need the word “adulting” so we can separate “doing the things adults are supposed to do” from “being old enough to be an adult”, because by age we’re obviously all adults as nouns but most of us can’t fully adult as a verb, so maybe we’re not actually adults? Or maybe we’re “fake” adults, because a REAL adult would have organized their life by now and would be adulting all the time with ease, because adulting is just, by definition, all the things you’d do if you were a real adult.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

The year I started going grey (2020, I was 26) was the same year I started making a grocery list and planning meals for the week.

The year before that, I wrote an extremely popular how-to guide for figuring out Adult Things by talking to customer service reps, because I’d literally just gotten my first job and genuinely had had to call up my health insurance and my credit card company and my bank to be like, “Hello, yes, I know I’m 25 and probably should know this already but could you explain to me very slowly how I’m supposed to do this thing?”

It’s like I’m in a play pretending to be an adult. It’s like imposter syndrome but for my entire life.
