Nobody gives you a handbook for becoming an adult. You just wake up one day and realize you're expected to know who you are, where you're going, and how to survive everything life throws at you. Diary of Adulting is a collection of poems, thoughts, and reflections about growing up in a world that doesn't always make sense. It's about love and loss, anger and forgiveness, identity and self-discovery, and the words we carry with us-even when we wish we could forget them. For anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming, this is your reminder: You don't have to have it all figured out yet. You're still becoming.
