Warning: Little vent and for anyone who’s even checking my account without this being announced, it’ll sound like I’m holding myself accountable for a “self cancelation”, but thats not what’s happening.
I’ve spent a majority of my life using the excuse of “I’m just a kid/teen” and not being held accountable for the shit I’ve done.
But being 18 (and technically labeled an adult) has made me realized, that by doing that I’ve scrubbed myself even remotely being considered responsible.
I’m not responsible at all. I’ve blamed all of my issues on being a kid/teen that I’ve never ever learned how to be a responsible person. I’ve blamed most of my issues on my parents, when I’m reality most of it was my fault.
I made messes, and blamed my parents for not teaching me better, but I never bothered to teach myself when they failed. I continued to ignore and deny any and all responsibility for the things I did and refused to do.
But now that I’m going to be on my own for a bit during college, I won’t be able to create excuses. I’ll have to be responsible, and hold myself accountable for any of the things I do there. There will be no one to blame BUT myself.
