Fuck all of your collective drama.
I'm tired of being shafted with the role of adult.
I'm tired of people twice my age expecting me to be the responsible one for their kids, just because of my marginal seniority. If they don't listen to you, they sure as hell won't listen to me.
I'm not going to clean up after them.
I'm not going to make sure they go to class.
I'm not going to keep them sober.
If you can't cut the cord, then why should I be expected to do it for you? Your progeny have voices, let them use them.
You all have your own choices to make, and the consequences to accept.
I'll deal with my own.
If this aspect of my personality seems new to any of you, then perhaps you wern't watching close enough.
My only regret is that some people who don't fully deserve it are about to get hurt, and to them my standpoint remains solid. I will help the best way I can and work within the situation that has been shoved up my ass. All any of you need to do is ask, and I will be there.
I will help you finish school.
I will help you get a job.
I can't move the world on my own.
As much as I want to look like him. I am not Atlas. As much as I want to carry the world on my shoulders, I am not the pillar I wish I could be.
No one is more disappointed in myself that I am, but at least I keep trying.
Despite what I may say. Despite how hard I may try to...
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
I'll still try to help all I can.
...But I can't do it alone.
I can change myself and that is all.
The power to change lies is choice.
Now choose!
