Anybody who knows me knows that I’m not a fan of this adulting business. But the funny thing is, every once in a while, I myself will forget this fact.
I’ll get super involved in doing, aspiring towards, or being envious of people doing all the “right” things for adult humans to do. Of course, sooner or later, circumstances will bring me back to reality, and I’ll be reminded that MBA, corporate job, shaadi, bacche is really not the track I want my life to take.
What I do want is more slow living. More meaningful experiences out in the world rather than just in front of my computer screen. More time spent doing the things I want to do rather than the things I feel like I should be doing.
So here’s my wish for 2024: to try to touch more grass yaar. And not only when my mental health forces me to.
If you, too, aspire to a more offbeat life, here’s some inspo.
