6 SHOCKING TRUTHS ABOUT ADULTING

Remember when we used to think adults had it all figured out? Lol. Now we are adults, and honestly,  we want to return it. No receipt, no refund, just take it back. Nobody warned us that adulting is a full-time job — with no closing time.

Here are some of the realest adulting truths we can all agree to:

1. Public Holidays excite you more than birthdays and Sleep is now premium content

Public holidays now excite you more than your birthday. That random Monday off? Feels like winning the lottery. You plan sleep, food, Netflix, and a full social detox.

Sleep itself? Premium content. You used to fight bedtime. Now, 9pm hits and you’re out like a grandma in church. You cancel plans just to rest. Saturday morning sleep should honestly be a public holiday on its own.

2. Conversations with friends turn into therapy sessions

You and your friend just wanted to catch up. The next thing is “I’m just tired, sha.” Followed by deep sighs and voice notes that start with “Omo…”. Want to gist with your favorite person and pour out all your frustration about how life is lifting?. Recharge airtime or data and enjoy the best offers easily with the Safe haven app, because even therapy needs connection.

3. Grocery shopping will humble you

You walk into the store with ₦10k. Come out with bread, milk, and tears. You’ll stand at the checkout line wondering if you’re dreaming.

4. You Now Respect Time Like Never Before

When someone wastes your time, it feels personal. Like they stole part of your life you’ll never get back. You now say things like “I value my time, abeg,” and you mean it with your whole chest.

5. “Let’s Catch Up” Now Means “See You Next Year”

You’ll make plans today, cancel tomorrow, and before you know it, that “catch-up” becomes a yearly event, just like Detty December.

And when you do manage to go out? You’ll need Sunday and Monday just to recover. A simple Saturday hangout now requires full-body restoration. Your social battery doesn’t last like it used to. These days, you’ll find yourself craving peace more than fun.

6. Two Things Will Always Finish at the Worst Time: Gas and Light Unit

Gas finishes when your stew is just about to enter legendary status. Or, your light goes off right when your series is getting sweet. Pure wickedness.

Avoid this heartbreak — just use the Safe Haven app to top up your electricity bills easily.

The saying 'adulting na scam' is so real, because nobody warned us that adult life is just stress, bills, survival, and pretending you're okay.

If adulting has shocked you like bad NEPA wiring, just know you’re not alone. We’re all winging it, managing, laughing through the stress, and praying for soft life.

Until then, we’ll keep using the Safe Haven app to pay bills, recharge data, and hold body and soul together.

And yes, we’ll still keep shouting: “God, abeg!”
