As I enter the the first week of the New Year, I come to realize that maybe resolutions aren't the way to go. Like I've said time and time before, I never actually make progress on them and they're just something to laugh at the following year.
So this year, I still will make a resolutions list, but I'll also make a quotes list. I've always seen the beauty in written word and had a fascination for it ever since. I'll live my life by quotes to guide my life, not by goals I'm setting for myself.
