responsability

it's funny. i've always heard people say that i'm too distracted and that i lack the sense of responsability. i acknowledge that - in fact, i hate responsabilities. i despise the notion of having to be somewhere at sometime to do something for someone. paying my rent or my bills? i'd always forget those if i was living alone.

even so, i really believe that i have quite a deal of sense of responsability. it was a very valuable lesson i've learned when i was in the highschool, with the best teacher i've ever had. he used to say that we, human beings, are free to live our lives as we want to, and that during that process of living, we inevitabily face choices. that being responsible was less a matter of paying our bills in time, but to assume that we could forget to do that, and to embrace the consequences of our actions. to assume that one had failed, and to be ready to endure the consequences of that failure, was everything it takes to define someone as responsible.

and this, to be honest, i can do pretty well.
