Black Sheep

Why is commitment so difficult for people? Divorce...dropping out of high school or college...quitting jobs...leaving kids...giving up on a relationship...

How hard is it to commit? To keep going and push through until you reach the end; or to get help to make things right again.

I think we're all just scared.

Things do have to end sometimes, but why does it seem that we don't try hard enough? That we just give up as soon as there's a bump in the road.

I've always been the black sheep of my family, and eventually it's going to pay off.
I'm going to be the only one in my family to graduate college. I'm going to be the only one in my family to fufill my dreams by having a job that I at least like.

And if I start to lose sight, someone punch me in the throat.
