Site positioning

Site one-liner

The Unofficial Guide to Being an Adult is an honest author/blog platform about the emotional parts of adulthood: dating, heartbreak, work, unemployment, grief, self-worth, boundaries, friendship, family, purpose, and figuring life out without pretending anyone has the official answer.

Book positioning

Book one-liner

The book is the long-form version of the site: part memoir, part reflection, part practical life guide, and currently in development.

Short version

Tyrell Cromoshuk is the writer behind The Unofficial Guide to Being an Adult, an honest essay archive about dating, heartbreak, work, unemployment, grief, self-worth, boundaries, friendship, family, purpose, and the emotional work of growing up.

Long version
