The ongoing prattlings of a lifelong geek and his random luck with love, work, children and rediscovering himself.

The Responsible One

I really am tired of being "the responsible one". It translates roughly into me being the "mean one", the "overbearing one", the "joyless one"...

Just once I'd like to be able to say "the heck with what [insert various names here] thinks".

At this, I am a failure.

But what frustrates me MOST is that I have this problem with my OWN KIDS sometimes.   I equate it to "Getting Old" which is ALSO frustrating.   At the ripe age of 37, I feel like I'm finally "getting older".   :-(

    Failure can become nothing if you are willing to see deep inside yourself.
