Adulting is Only Adulting if You Blog

Someone thought I was too old.

"No," I whispered.

Every self-respecting adult out there owns a blog now. A blog about parenting. A blog about finances. A blog about the paleo diet. A blog about blogging. It's the thing to do these days. Almost as popular as a

decaf, gluten free, kale avacado latte, with coconut whipped cream, drizzled with soy low-carb, sugar-free, ESSENTIAL OILS of BARELY LEGAL HERBS.

Yes, that's a thing. Try it.

No.

Don't ever, ever try that, it sounds disgusting.

Well, I did it. No, not the pop-culture devil-of-drinks figment of my over-active imagination.

The blog.

That's right guys. 2018 and I am a legal adult, coming back to you, the good people of this old, slightly forgotten town (is Mason still president? I lost track of our politics back in my junior high days), to make a very important announcement:

Never quit your silly writing!!

As a kid, it increases your creativity and writing skills (very useful in life outside of grade school), plus generally gives you great childhood memories. As an adult, it's important to keep it up to:

1. Relieve stress. The older you get, the more you're given. Don't forget to take a good break!
2. Keep up on your writing skills. If you never use them, you will lose them. Write frequently—even if it's silly!
3. Sharpen your creativity. In and out of the workforce, creativity is a highly valued tool. Employers seek creative minds to further their business, and organizations love passion. Independently, it can still take you to unforeseen places ("to infinity and beyond", one might say). How are discoveries made? How do fresh ideas become mainstream? How do trends begin? How are "futuristic" technologies invented? Creative minds, my friends.
4. Relate to kids. Kids are the future, and as an adult, it is wise to invest your time into young minds. They themselves are endlessly creative, and we can all learn from them. It works the other way, too, though. By using fun, alternative methods, you can instill important lessons and complicated concepts in children by putting it into a way they can better understand the information.
5. Keep your sense of humor. Sometimes, in this relentlessly chaotic society we live in, everybody should just step back, take a deep breath, and laugh. Laugh a lot. Laugh hysterically about crazy dragons, or creatures that don't even exist in our realm, or scientific breakthroughs that tomorrow may revolutionize the world as we know it, but today are just manic thoughts that are entertained in our minds.
6. Leave a legacy. Our town, our Foo Foo monsters, our memories, and our childhoods will never be forgotten (so long as we are fearless in our pursuit to record each moment for our future selves and circle of influence to revel upon).
