Ode to My Adulthood

Sometimes being an adult is just the worst
And I often wonder if I might have been cursed.
The dating world is just no fun,
It's been two years and I still haven't found "the one."
And if that elusive spark I ever do feel,
The guy never seems to want something real.
I try not to worry about how my mortgage will get paid,
Now that off I am about to be laid.
Air mattresses in my living room,
Craigslist strangers helping me fight financial doom.
I try not to let it all get me down
If I only focus on the negative, all I'll ever do is frown.
I prefer not to think about how things are
And by the way, have you seen my car?
It's a Jeep Cherokee... from 1994
And there is no window in the back passenger door.
*S  I  G  H* 
Best to focus on the positive, or all I'd ever do is cry.
Instead I think about how I am blessed -
Like how my parents are truly the best
And that when I go visit them it's in Maine by the beach,
While for so many others that is so far out of reach.
When I think about my friends all around the world
It just makes me feel like the luckiest girl.
Sure, things have not turned out as I hoped or expected
And definitely my resilience has surely been tested.
But everyday when I look in the mirror, I like the person that I see,
Not just my outsides but the inside, what makes me me.
I get good vibes from being grateful and gracious,
And also, not gonna lie - have you seen my 43 year old bod? It's pretty bodacious.
