“We think we understand the rules when we become adults, but what we really experience is a narrowing of imagination.” 

— David Lynch

In many ways, this is the closest that I felt to being an adult. I just didn’t expect this is what adulthood would feel like

On the narrowing of the imagination: I reckon it’s partially entropy, it’s not like we can avoid it, we cant be open minded forever, we all have a limited lifespan. But that doesn’t mean things have to come to an end, and that doesn’t mean we don’t get a fighting chance - if anything we narrow on things that don’t matter and expand on things that do

Beautifully said July Adulthood often surprises us with its complexities and contradictions. I love how you've acknowledged the inevitability of entropy, yet refused to surrender to it. By focusing on what truly matters and letting go of the rest, we can create a sense of purpose and direction. It's a reminder that growth and expansion are possible even as our horizons narrow in other ways🫡
