a note on ending the year

Its okay if this year looks a lot like last year 

In the same house, in the same job, in the same clothes

It’s okay if this year looks different than last year

A different house, a different job, different clothes

Its okay if this year you didn’t reach a business goal

Its okay if you didn’t travel the world 

Its okay if you held on for dear life and only have your survival to show for this year

It’s okay if you’re still single and it’s okay if you are single again 

Its okay if the only change from last year, is change within, growth in your soul, becoming closer to God, and less of what the world says you should be 

It’s okay to not explain yourself to the world 

To go about your life, living quietly and remaining steadfast in truth
