Just go to poor families and you will see how early children develop into adults. You need to take care of your brother, or work, or both. Money makes a huge difference.*Not only that, but it is a major factor.

Being a functional adult every day seems a bit excessive imo

That's what makes adulting so hard!! It wouldn't be bad if it was a day or two every once in a while. But it's every day!

I didn't realize growing up was so overrated when I was a kid.

I never meant to make it past 29, what the hell am I still doing here?

Every day it becomes more clear to me that humans evolved to survive to an age where we can have kids, raise them past infancy, and that's it. Any time you get after that is basically a crime against nature.

Then I will proudly call myself a not particularly smooth criminal.

welcome to adulthood where every little action you take could reverberate throughout the rest of your live, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.
