Own your own bullshit!!

I've been going over and over what I wanted to write in my head for the last eight hours. What is the measure of a responsible adult?
There are many ways to answer that question. To some it's going to work everyday, to others it's taking care of your children, to me it's those things, but it's also OWNING UP TO YOUR OWN BULLSHIT!! To me that is a true measure of character be it man or woman.
Every single individual today has some kind of "issue". If they tell you they don't then their issue would be lying wouldn't it?
When I say "issue" I mean to say personal drama or bullshit or characteristic that is problematic.
Do I have "issues"? Shit, I have a subscription!!! I never denied that I do. My past tends to invade my present and I act out when I feel disrespected. Am I always being disrespected? No, probably not so that would be the interpretation in my own head that I need to work on. I lay my own shit bare because that is what I believe in.
A high school friend who shall remain nameless (Bubba) recently told me the greatest thing about me is I have not changed who I am over the years. I still speak my mind, I'm still true to who I am and this is who I will be until the day I die. I am honest and upfront about myself, I live in the open. In turn, I'm honest about what I see around me even if what I say is not popular or taken well. Has it bit me in the ass? Sure it has, many times, but I will not stop being who I am. Could I learn more tact? Sure, couldn't we all in certain areas. For some that may be taking others feelings into consideration or not needlessly twisting things that are said so they aren't in trouble later.
People make mistakes, but the biggest deal is OWNING THEM!! Don't just preach to others how they should be dealing with their life especially if you can't own your own shit because you really have no room or business to be doing so. It's an ongoing process for most and it doesn't just stop one day, you may have to work at it all your life and that's ok. I've been workin on my shit for years, but I never deny it! OWN YOUR BULLSHIT!!! Just sayin......
