How to be a Proper Adult

Today I was feeling a bit like a disaster (I blame this on not taking a morning shower) and so when I came home, I wrote up a list called How to be a Proper Adult, which I expected to shame me into at least attempting to be responsible.


But you know what? There were only five (5!) items on the list. And, okay, #1 was make like five different kinds of doctor appointments, but still. I am not nearly

“You only get hurt that badly when you're doing something that matters.Something impossible.Taking a risk.Investing yourself.And ball's worth it,the rush you get, the exhilaration...”
Allison Parr, Rush Me

“I had always imagined being in love as some grand, sweeping epic. A prince on a white horse. Dashing.”
Allison Parr, Rush Me

“I’ll tell everyone about our stellar apartment—though maybe I’ll bump us up to Park Slope—and about my fabulous publishing internship—I think I’ll pretend it’s a salaried job.” Come to think about it, this reunion seemed like a really bad idea. I leaned against the counter in defeat. “Oh, God. I haven’t done anything. I’m going to show up and be a failure.”“‘Oh, woe is me,’” Eva said from back at the mirror.“‘To have seen what I have seen,see what I see!’”That was the problem with living with a former theatre major. Sometimes she rebuked me with Shakespeare.”
Allison Parr, Rush Me
