    The Day I Tried to Be a “Serious Adult”

    I woke up one morning and told myself:

    “Today… I will be responsible.”

    No jokes. No laziness. Just pure adulthood.

    First mistake.

    I even changed my walking style. Instead of my normal “vibes only” walk, I started walking like someone that pays electricity bills on time.

    I reached the kitchen.

    Opened the fridge.

    Closed it.

    Opened it again… like something new would appear.

    That’s when I realized — adulthood is just opening the fridge repeatedly and hoping for miracles.

    Anyway, I decided to cook.

    Because serious adults cook.

    I brought out rice.

    Measured it like a scientist.

    Added water like a confused engineer.

    Put it on fire like a motivational speaker.

    Then I sat down and started pressing my phone.

    Next thing… I smelled something.

    Not aroma.

    Not food.

    It was the smell of regret.

    I rushed back to the kitchen.

    Rice: BURNT.

    Pot: BLACK.

    My dreams: FINISHED.

    At that moment, I understood something very deep:

    Adulthood is not about cooking.

    It’s about burning food with confidence.

    So I cleaned everything, wore my slippers, and went to buy food outside.

    As I was eating, I whispered to myself:

    “Next time… we try again.”

    But deep down…

    I knew.

    I will not.
