This past year has been full of new places, new people, and plenty of new experiences. In 2015, I've visited four countries - Bermuda, Germany, and the Netherlands. I've met two of my favorite band members - Alex and Jack. I've started highschool in a new school system. I've gone away for dance camp. I've hit 200 subscribers on YouTube. I've met a group of people I connect with on YouTube.
I'm nervous but excited to see what 2016 will bring. I would say that 2015 has been the most memorable in my short time on this earth, but that's because I've only lived about a decade and a half.
In hopes to make 2016 better than 2015 I have resolutions like most people. However I'm making only three as I feel that there is a good amazing in that I can maintain.
First Resolution: To be happy
Happiness was something I struggled with in 2015. Whether that be because of people, stress, and just general unhappiness. This year I want to do things that make me happy. I want to surround myself with people who I enjoy being around. Also I want to attempt to write one thing that made me smile in a notebook everyday. That way when I can look back on happy thoughts.
Second Resolution: To face my fears
I've spent most of my 2015 being afraid of what people think of me, of being too afraid to talk to people, being too afraid to tell people what I really think. I want speak my mind, cut out the people I don't need in my life, and talk to people who I would otherwise never speak to.
Third Resolution: To believe in myself
In 2016 I want to believe that I'm able to do things that otherwise I couldn't do. When I go to dance competitions I don't want to be worried about what people are saying about my dancing. I want to go to school and be the talkative girl instead of the quite girl.
Regardless if I'm actually able to do these things or not, it's the thought that counts. The truth is that no one knows what 2016 holds but really and truly it will be the same thing as last year. It will be another year that the earth goes around the sun. Another year that people are born and others die. It will be different for everyone, but I hope everyone has a wonderful year for this year and many more.
