            Life can be a struggle.  There are a lot of things in life that can make you feel like you have no strength to move on.  Wrong paths and wrong doings and distractions are around for your entire life and you have to be strong and do what’s right and stay away from the things that you know can harm you or make your life where you don’t want it to be.  Distractions are everywhere and people need to have their priorities in line all the time.

                Now as a teen or young adult we’re still growing up and figuring out right from wrong.  We are still learning and making room for mistakes, but as an adult I feel as if you should be past the point of making mistakes and realizing your duties and responsibilities.  But there are some adults out there that have more of a harder time with that task.  When you have a family and children and people to take care of you need to know who and what comes first.  When you do not have a family but are grown you still need to know what should be coming first in your life but your actions just won’t have as much of an affect on the people around you.

                From my own experiences in life I have seen that it is harder than what it seems like to keep your priorities in line.  My father is a man who means well but just cannot follow through with what he is supposed to do.  I believe that my father is a good man but he just doesn’t know how to put his life together and keep it together.  I believe every man needs to step up for his family and take care of them and that shouldn’t be that hard of a task, but for some mean it really is and unfortunately my dad is one.  I love my dad with all my heart but it hurts me to know that my dad cannot put us first all the time like a father should due to his problems and what he has going on in his life.  I know that one day he’ll get better though.
