New Year, My Year

It's officially 2012 and another year has passed by. It seems to have gone by way too quickly, but it also seems so far away.
This year I several resolutions. I have always been one to be quiet about what I think and that's not really gotten me anywhere, so that's going to  change this year. I'm also going to try and be a little more trusting of people. I don't let people in and love people like I should, and this year it's going to change. My family is so close, and sometimes I feel like I'm looking in form the outside. I'm going to take my life into my own hands. I may be young, but I don't want to be stuck in this place for the rest of my life. I'm going to stop stressing the little things that don't really matter, because that's just not good for me. I'd like to meet more people and be able to have the courage to speak up and say hello first. And I'm going to be happy.
That's what I want most out of this year. I want to be happy. And I'm going to be. I don't know how long it'll take, but next year I'm going to look back and see that this is one of the best years of my life. I'm going to make it happen, for me.
