When you’re a kid, tasks are assigned separately, and you think things can be finished.
“Make your bed”; “Do your homework.”
Then you’re done.
When you’re an adult, everything is continuous….
Your job, the cooking, the dishes, the grass…
the kids, if you have them, and the car repairs, and the bills. Much more.
Nobody assigns the tasks… it’s up to you to look, and keep up….
and you discover that you’re never “done.”
The awareness and acceptance of that is one measure of adulthood.
