You Can't Do That

Commitment is a funny word, because you use it to express dedication. You also use it when someone is sent to a mental institution.

But maybe that's not so unusual. Commitment means that you're excluding a bunch of choices. If you marry Bob, you can't marry Steve. If you're a writer, you can't be an astronaut. That's why commitment is so scary.

But commitment gives you the ability to explore the choice you've made to the fullest degree. I guess that's what makes it worth it.
