Summary
Hey Besties, it’s SCORPIO MONTH! This month we’re getting into everything supernatural, keeping things a little spooky, and of course - we’re starting it off with an episode all about ME! AKA, your favorite Scorpio.
This week on Almost Adulting we’re getting vulnerable. Today Violet is sharing some of her heaviest guilt she’s been carrying since her teenage years. She starts off with an Adderall horror story of what went from a quick self care moment, to a 2-hour long masturbation sesh leaving her cramped and wobbly. Next, Violet opens up about the yearly existential crisis surrounding her upcoming birthday, and the insecurities about marriage and children that she’s been brushing off as she turns a year older. Finally, things take a more emotional turn as she recounts the story of finding out about her grandmother's cancer, and unpacks things she wishes she’d done differently - which is something we ALL can relate to. Life goes on, but life is short Besties. Reach out to your loved ones and cherish every moment with them, you never know when it’s your last.
