Realization:

When we* say something about Adulting being hard, there's two parts.

1) Taking responsibility. Sure. Nobody likes having to do it. Would much prefer not to.

2) Dealing with the horrific shitty bureaucracy involved in (1)

* people of a certain age/disposition

I would *prefer* not to have to take responsibility for {insert thing like proactive healthcare}.

But once I decide/accept to, I don't think Some People* understand exactly how much of a run-around it is to actually get those things done these days.

For all the talk of Canceling Things, it sure is hard to Actually Cancel Some Things these days.
