I always thought that I could do better than my parents generation. Growing up I regularly saw my parents and others their age struggling to pay the bills, looking for bargains and never going on lavish vacations. I thought to myself, I will never be like that. Even in recent years, when my parents would go to the grocery store and buy the generic supermarket brand, I used to think to myself, I will never buy that stuff. I'll always buy the good stuff. But as I’ve come of age, I’ve realized that chances are, I will probably end up just like them. The real pisser of it all is that understanding this lead me to a much greater realization.
I think that I am afraid of succeeding.
One of my biggest problems is that I don’t like responsibility. There are many things I’d like to do, but I resist because I don’t want the power to impact, hurt, or disappoint other people. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have dreams--it’s just that I’m scared of what achieving them will entail. If you can relate to this feeling, al salute, and excuse me while I pour another glass........
It's funny, if you play it safe, you won’t hurt or disappoint anyone, but you also won’t help or inspire anyone. And equally important, you won’t help or inspire yourself. So as I take another quick shot and lay it all out to you in this pathetic blog, I can only hope that someone will be inspired. Shit, I'll even settle for amused. Until next time...
Go Fuck Yourselves,
