new years resolutions are dumb

     I never make New Year's resolutions not because I have anything against resolutions, but because I think it's silly to wait until a new year starts to make them. Don't say, "starting Janurary 1st I'm going to read that book," or "I'll get right with God," or "I'm going to eat better," or whatever that thing that you've been meaning to do, but keep putting off is.
     Why wait? There's no time like the present! If there's something in your life that you aren't happy with, do something about it now! I don't care if it's April or October, if you want to change something, just do it!
     We aren't promised a tomorrow. Maybe this is all we get. Maybe the zombie apocalypse will happen tomorrow, or maybe Jesus is going to come back. There's no way to know when the end is until it's here, so do your best today. Resolve every day to be the best that you can be. Who cares what year it is?

Beautiful Disaster


*Disclaimer* I am in no way a poet, or even good at writing in any capacity, but got a random impulse to try to write a poem a while back. I realize the poem in itself is a disaster, but please don't laugh. Thank you.

Beautiful Disaster

She was entirely scattered
Bits of her life floating all around
Ideas, thoughts and feelings
Unable to be bound.
She was a beautiful disaster -
One chaotic mess.
But when he came along,
Everything made sense.
Her head screamed, "stay away!"
While her heart whispered, "closer!"
For when she was with him,
Her pieces fell together.
He made everything seem clear
And beyond a shadow of a doubt
She knew she wanted to waste time
Figuring this handsome puzzle out.
