We agreed who the audience was.

Then I set out to try to write this book for them and failed miserably.

For about three years, I signed this contract in 2016.

I didn't really have the concept for the book, meaning the voice and the structure and the chapters approved until 2019.

And I just didn't feel like an authority on the subject of adulting.

I thought, who the hell am I to tell anyone how to live their life?

And ultimately, I landed on a structure that includes my voice.

Yes, my story's

Yes, but also the stories of over 30 other people.

I wanted to be clear on the page that there is no one way of being an adult.

And I wanted to honor the myriad infinite paths and situations that people take and face and ultimately.

that's what the final book is.

Yeah, this book is directly aimed at 18 to 34 year olds, the people who
