Homeownership and Being an Adult

My previous roommate has moved out (and left a mess), and I am now looking for a new roommate. It has been a stressful process listing my spare room, filtering out applicants, scheduling showings and whatnot. It is the burden that comes with homeownership and making money from your own home, but it is also just a part of being an adult as well. As adults, we have to do things that we do not want to do but have to, and we take risks like allowing strangers into your home in order to get some sort of reward. It is also a learning process, and despite doing this for a while, there is still much to learn.

Writing has been like that for me as well. There is a level of motivation, drive and discipline required to put words to paper. There is time that needs to be allotted daily to write consistently, even though it can be a grind and not something that I want to do. There is also a lot to learn even with my writing environment such as eliminating distractions, setting a timer and whatnot. With writing itself, I have had to go back, re-edit and make my works longer. It is still a constant learning process despite how long I have been doing it.

It is not always fun to be an adult, but I have found things to be more fulfilling. Getting things done have taken on a new meaning, and my general satisfaction with things in my life appear to be higher.
