let's see how many things can blow my mind...

Its outrageous to me how people can act a lot of the time.. Decisions people can make without thinking of the affect it would have on people around them, but especially the decisions people can make that directly affect them and still go on with their life.

Like how, in any mind, would it be okay to just..stop working. Sure you have a family, but eh..working doesn't seem right to you. How can you not do anything to support your family? How can you make that decision twice?

How do some people get the way they are.. How could parents possibly raise a child and that child end up with so many different aspirations, so different from how they grew up?
How does it get to the point where so many people my age are put into the position to act older than they are, to feel like they're the ones that needs to do something with their life or take care of their family because someone has failed to do so?

Ive seen so many different lives, so many different problems, whether it be with themselves, with their family, their work, their friends, everything. Ive come to the conclusion that each person is strong in their own way because each person gets through what may seem impossible. I just do my best to keep those I care about on their feet, to stay strong like I know they are. Because there are countless times in my life when I just wanted to fall to my knees and beg the universe to alter something.

It drives me up the wall when someone claims that I am ungrateful, unappreciative, or anything of the sort. I know that I take some aspects of my life for granted, but not like the average person of seventeen. I like to believe I have a higher sense of self appreciation, an appreciation for the things around me and for each day.

I don't even know where this is going.. I think I just wanted to get across that everyone has responsibilities. Whether it be to a friend, your family, or yourself, you cant forget about the affect a decision will have.
You cant forget to say what you feel to someone or waste a second giving up on yourself.
