This town is for the birds

And so there comes a time in every slacker's life where one needs to, "straighten up, and act right." Whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. Although I understand the need to act responsibly, I barely see the need to act responsibly towards anyone but myself. Maybe that's what's gotten me where I am now... dirt fucking poor and my obligations are razzing me. The last thing I need is another lecture... I'm fucking twenty-two, I don' want to fucking hear it. I just wish those I love weren't so dependent on me. I never promised myself, obligated myself... just a victim of circumstance that I can't escape unless I change - and apparently, change everything about me. Maybe not everything, but that's how it feels. Tomorrow I'm leaving town for a while... going to spend some time in the sticks with the family... which I'm looking forward to, I guess.
Nobody is really discussing the events of the past week and it's driving me nuts. I know we can't change anything that happened, no one knew, no one is to blame... but that's what leads to events like that - not opening up and segregating yourself from your family... the ones supposed to always be there.
