Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up

by Naya Rivera

You spend years struggling to figure out who you are, and through a lot of those years you feel like it’s going to take a bit of divine intervention for you to pull it all together. And then, all of a sudden, you find yourself sitting in the dining room, wondering what to make for dinner and what that baby-related stain on your shirt is, and your adulthood smacks you in the face.

Your life doesn’t have to be perfect for you to be proud.

I think you’re finally an adult when you can look at your parents as people going through their own shit, rather than just seeing them as unfeeling tyrants here to make your life miserable.

I really think that whoever you are, and whatever you believe in, you need to find something that gets you to a calmer place and makes you feel refreshed.
