I often get annoyed whenever people around me start saying it’s the end of times and Jesus is coming and blah blah blah blah because of all the “bad things” happening in the world. It annoys me because:

1. most of these people consider themselves to be Christian; totally disregarding the fact that the bible clearly states that no one will know when Jesus will come back.
2. there have been worse times in history when the coming of a Messiah would have made sense. Like, really? We’re not in a perfect world but I doubt the world is in a worse place than during the Holocaust or the Vietnam war. even the black plague.
3. a combination of both points; people are just ignorant and let their fears overrule the evil others had to have gone through. 

but that’s just me.. 

edit - i’m sorry if i sound crass or edgy. you’re not limited to be afraid of what you’re afraid of. i just needed that off my chest.

I was an idiot growing up, I think it’s safe to say.
I grew up with hand-me-downs and goodwill and that certainly taught me a lot about appreciating things.
Now, I’m 21 and I don’t even the recognize the person I was two years ago. I’m in a better place now. That’s for sure.
I’m not saying I have everything figured out, I think that’s still another road to go, but I remember being sixteen and wondering what I’d be like at twenty-one. I used to think I’d be married and having kids and working and blah blah blah. Because that’s what my dad did; and that seemed to be what most men at that age did. 
But man, what was I thinking?
That shit is far-fetched.
So, what happens now?
I’m not exactly sure, but I’ve a good grasp on the recipe for determination.
Thank God.
