You know you grown when...

[Soundwave]

This thread reminds me of a meme I've seen floating around the Interwebs that goes lie this:

- Not going to a party
- Going to bed early
- Staying at home

Our childhood punishments have now become our adult goals

When you like your vegetables

Yep

When you gotta get up at 3:00 and be at work by 5:00 to deal with motherfukkers you don't even like lol

When others depend on you with no care for your wants or feelings at all

Sucks to be you

-When you got deadlines and responsibilities and nobody cares about your issues.


-When you gotta check your account to make sure shyt went through. ("I got more money than I'm supposed to have but I can't spend it b/c I bet they ain't take rent out yet!")


-When you start thinking about shyt like personal safety ("Maybe my slippery ass bathtub needs a bath mat..." "Don't know about riding those roller coasters at the fair...they put them shyts up yesterday...")


-When you start hating pop music.
("Da fukk is he chirping for and why is her hair pink?!")

-When you start going out more during the day than during the night on the weekend. ("Gotta run these damn errands..." "You can come over! We bout to play spades!")

-When u start needing self care.


-When u start evaluating everything in terms of finances. ("Who shops at Whole Foods?!")


-When you care less about ur car being new and more about the fact that it's paid for. ("Gonna drive this shyt till the wheels fall off!" "Fukk a payment!")


-When kids and animals stop being cute and start getting viewed as responsibilities.

When you identify as spiritual b/c you don't feel like waking up early to go to church on Sundays.

"The monks and dem don't go to church! I'm meditating on the Lord in my own space!"

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

When going to pick out drapes with your significant other is more gratifying than going to a lounge to stunt

You don’t have to go to church early in the morning. Most churches tend to have an afternoon service as well.

When youre at the amusement park and worse case scenarios play out in your head when you ponder if you should get on a ride; Instead you say fukk that and you're perfectly content enjoying the food and other events.

I used to be a fukking dare devil for the longest until I was around 26, That's when Discernment and awareness of your own mortality starts to influence your actions.


little patience for bullshyt, trolling, etc. I've put about 300 MFers on this site on ignore list for the slightest offense. It aint even personal I just dont feel like scrolling down the page and seeing the same 5 dumb asses arguing and trying to get a rise out of everyone that quotes them. Damn near all of them are WOATs or are on their way to being there.

I like fukkery too but I better be able to laugh or learn from it. The back and forward shyt is a waste of energy and annoying AF

How old are you OG?

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

When your life is centered around shyt that really matters . Health, work/life balance, career trajectory, finances and personal space

When you dont give a fukk that younger (or) lesser minds consider you lame for prioritizing the aforementioned.

They'll soon be in their late 20's and rejected from society's "Cool" kids table; seeing other nikkas in their age bracket living the 6 certs 6 fig life miserable and wondering where they went wrong cause they didnt smarten up early in the game. nikkas think they can hold on to these misguided ideas of "youth" forever and prosper in this world when the truth is you'll get as far as you are useful and most nikkas refuse to give up the trappings of what they think is "young" instead of acquiring a marketable skill and hitting the pavement early and pay them dues. Either you outgrow the bullshyt or it outgrows you and it will hurt ten folds when its the latter.

Not trying to preach. but I just really want this out here. nikkas think the best time of their life is confined between 17 and 22 and feel pressured to live it up as much as possible before "Real life" happens not knowing that they can still have fun and come out the other end in a good position if they just modify the amount fukkery and put just a little energy towards a better future. I just dont want some of you nikkas figuring shyt out later in the game. Being grown doesnt have to be all about you being preoccupied with bills, parent teachers conferences, working shytty jobs and making soul crushing sacrifices if you dont want it to. Just apply yourself early and "adulthood" can be a relative breeze. Choices my friends. you can cry now or cry later.

When you go to numerous bars and have one drink and be a buzzkill and decline offers for drinks all evening because the way your tolerance is set up might make it a night you hit 100 real fukking quick

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Appreciate getting new socks, shirts, and boxers for Christmas....

You know your dry cleaners better than your bartenders at the local bar...

When Shade45 is playing a song from a "Lil' Someone" so you go to Bloomberg Radio for them stock market updates...

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

When you listen to NPR more than the hip hop station

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

the face you have when you get invited to a function or a cookout and they say it's an open bar and plenty of women passing thru
