#fuck commitment

Everyone talks about being afraid of commitment almost like it's as bad as wanting to have sex with children. It's really not that bad. Not even close.

Like yeah. Don't let it turn into an excuse for why you decided to cheat on your SO or abandoned your partner after they became pregnant. Because you still have a responsibility to these people. (Even then, there's alternatives: break up instesd of cheat. Pay freaking child support instead of ghosting your kid)

But I'm using my fear of commitment to help me become more adaptable. I've gone to school in four different states. I've even had one of my classes take me abroad for the first time. Instead of just sticking with the traditional go to the school closest to home. It has let me become more independent.

I've been exploring multiple different career paths. Sure, I'm not climbing my way up through a company from the janitor to CEO. Who cares? I'm learning different skills, living an exciting life, and meeting cool people. Eventually I'd like to stay at the same job for longer, but even then, I'd never want to work at the same job for a lifetime.

So yeah. I may not be willing to get married because of the commitment, but that doesn't mean I'm not living a fulfilling life. Don't let other's life plans become a road block to yours, and live the life that you would want. When I die, I want to have had an exciting life that I can tell cool stories about instead of having to face the same day for decades.
