What’s something most people don’t understand?

View all responses

Most people don’t understand that ‘adulting’ is mostly just Googling how to do things you thought you already knew.

It’s a painfully relatable truth. We all pretend we’ve got our lives together, but deep down, we’re just winging it with the help of search engines. “How to unclog a sink?” “How to file taxes?” “How to pretend I know what I’m doing at this meeting?” These are the real questions of our time.

Inspirational Message: It’s a reminder that it’s okay not to know everything. We’re all constantly learning and figuring things out as we go. It’s a nod to the resilience and resourcefulness of humanity.

• The Life Lesson: Don’t be afraid to ask for help (even if that help comes from a search engine). And don’t be fooled by the people who seem to have it all together. They’re probably just better at Googling.

So, the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sheer absurdity of adult life, remember: you’re not alone. We’re all just a bunch of confused humans, trying to navigate the world with the help of the internet. And that’s kind of beautiful, in a hilariously chaotic way.
