Say What?

I have been trying to decide whether or not I should continue trying to make this stupid blog work or not. I am not sure exactly who or what reads it, and I am not sure what good it’s doing if I can’t even manage to keep up with every day of the year.
It’s not for the lack of trying, because I definitely have that trying part down. It’s the actual doing part that scares me. I made a vow to myself at the very beginning of the year to put forward my better self, and try with everything I have in me to do better than the me that came before. Staying positive, looking up, and simply being more awesome than I have ever been. Too bad for me, it’s harder than it looks.
So with the ability to juggle school, work, a social life, my drinking habits, and sleep, I am also struggling to keep a grasp on my writing. I think I should write more, know I should probably write more, if not for the sole reason of making others laugh or appreciate the words I have delicately laid out across the page, then to at least attempt to progress my work into something tolerable for readers in the future.
My question to you is, is it worth it?
My philosophy, and also answer to this question, is simple… and I will explain to you why in the “resolution” part of this post.

Resolution #021: Keep your word. When you say you are going to do something, do it. Don’t pull out every excuse in the book, do not put it off, and do not avoid it with other empty promises. Just man up and do it. I say I want to write a blog, I shall write a blog. You want to go skydiving? Do it. You tell your better half you will pick up a gallon of milk after work? You best believe your ass is in the grocery store debating over 1 and 2 percent. Don’t just say things you don’t mean. That makes everything coming from your voice box worthless.
