Life is messy. 

Life is messy because I messed it up,

I kinda don't care about the mess,

Just my responsibility and the people in it.


Life is messy,

And you probably shouldn't worry about it,

You shouldn't give them power over you,

And you're only as weird as you want to believe you are.


I don't know how I ended up being my best-friend's ex-girlfriend's husband's friend,

I don't know how I ended up with my closest friends usually being the ones I have less in common with,

I don't know how my dad built an entire town and I somehow didn't know about it until after he passed,

I don't know how I've burned so many bridges with good people just to learn better bridges.


There's not a lot to live by consistently for me,

But I really don't ever judge,

Because life just really is messy.

What is your life motto, or what words do you live by? Use it in a poem or prose piece.

One step at a time.  The day ahead may look like a mess of complications you have to deal with.  Just take one thing from that pile and take care of it, then another, and then another, one at a time, until you get them all taken care of.
