What I've Learned

I've learned that adults can throw temper tantrums, too (even publicly).
I've learned that adults can be hurt, and in turn passive aggressive (more so than kids).
I've learned that there's no end to grief, to hurt, to pain.
And some adults don't admit it

I've learned that my mother has her own hurts,
Even if she won't admit them (at least to me).

I've learned that running makes me feel good,
That alcohol is only temporary,
And that you can get used to any new normal.

I've learned that I have a lot to learn,
And adulting is something most adults don't feel like doing.

And I've learned that "adulting" is still not a word according to spellcheck.
But I shall use it anyway.
