I have two holes in my rainboots.

I've known they were there for awhile now, probably since last year's winter. But I haven't done much about them. Some days more water would seep in than others. Some days my socks would get damp and other days they'd be fine. So I didn't do much about the holes. I figured they would be okay, I guess.

I checked them again today.

The holes are so much bigger than I last remembered them to be. They stretched all the way to the other side already. My rainboots don't serve much purpose now.

If you don't fix what is broken...you can't expect it to get any better on its own. It will remain broken, and only get worse. Seems like such an obvious truth.
