If not now, When?

If not now, When? 

This makes me realize how much people push things away. Why not start your community service in 9th grade and not push it till 11th grade. Why not drive everyday with a permit to achieve the freedom of a driver's license? 

If not now, When?

Why not tell your parents your depressed instead of living in sadness alone. Why not go get the haircut you have always wanted. Why not work in 9th grade and start saving your first car? Why not always aim for 100%? 

If not now, When?

How long will it take people to realize life is too short to save things for the last minute? How long will it take everyone to realize procrastination can come back and stab you in the back? How long will it take people to do things that push them out of their comfort zone, instead of living a boring life?

If not now, When? 

If you don’t do it today, you may not have tomorrow. Don’t procrastinate, but obligate yourself out of your comfort zone.

    Sad Winter Trees

    The trees are bare now,
    the colored leaves decorate the cold dirty ground. 
    They fly in the wind with every passing car,
    these leaves crunch under the walking person's feet.

    The lengthy branches sit naked,
