This isn’t a “rock bottom to TED Talk” story. There’s no fivestep plan, no perfect epiphany, no magical ending where everything finally makes sense.
Instead, Adulting is Optional is the story of falling apart and rebuilding—awkwardly, hilariously, and messily—into a life that fits. Through career meltdowns, therapy flops, dating misadventures, and the ongoing project of learning how to take up space, Anaya shows us that it’s okay not to know, not to have a plan, and not to be “fine.”
It’s a reminder that maybe the real definition of adulting is learning how to be human.

Upasana Mehra
Upasana Mehra is a nurse by profession and a storyteller by choice. Once the kind of reader who was “forced” into books, she eventually discovered that words could be a lifeline—and now she writes the stories she once needed to hear. A lover of travel, she finds inspiration in new places, unfamiliar conversations, and the in-between spaces of life.
Adulting is Optional is her first book, a candid memoir about unraveling, rebuilding, and permitting yourself to live on your terms.
