The causal relations of things in my life aren't as random and meaningless as the backdrop of nature's course, but I stuff significance away in some pocket in a pair of pants I never wear only to find a reminder, like a photograph or artifact from the past, and feel overwhelmed with the rawness I so arrogantly proclaim to constantly embrace.
But fuck yes 2014, I'm excited about you. This optimism about the future is freaking me out.
I think resolutions are just a set-up for failure, but if I was going to try to work on things, this is what I'd do:

-Sleep wayyyy less.
-Delete my Okcupid account permanently. No more of this de/re-activate shit.

-Start saying 'yes' more when my sister asks me to work out.
