Basement Artist is a young adult woman and has grown up living with an extreme case of introversion, shyness, a permanently quiet voice from early damage, and fundamental insecurity.
Social Hurricane is a young adult woman dealing with anxiety issues, humongous dyslexia, and full-blown bipolar disorder.
They're both adulting. I suppose there are people for whom adulting comes easily. It never did for me, and it hasn't for my daughters.
They're both paying bills, holding down jobs, managing insurance and medical stuff and looking to the future. BA is planning a wedding and then a move to Canada from North Carolina and SH is looking at further education and figuring out what she wants to do and where she wants to go when she flies the nest, which she's expecting will be within the year.
There's a lot of uncertainty, a few mistakes here and there, and an awful lot of "we're making this up as we go along." We've had lots of long talks, and we've provided a lot of hints here and there. But we can't do this for them. I've love to have them blog about their own experiences, but so far, no luck.
But I wish them the best with it.
Hope all's well out there, friends, and God bless.
