New Year, New Promises.

Like most teens my age, I decided to make a new years resolution.
It's something that I have been doing for a while now, but never really made 'official'.
Not that it's really important or needs announcing. Maybe just some explaining.
I'm not another typical teen who promised to work harder or go on a diet. I didn't make a typical new years resolution to look better or anything superficial like that.

I promised myself that I would treat me better.
Better than I ever have.

For the last little while I have been really hard on myself. I have gone through some huge changes that have made my point of view shift, and has made me into a different person than I was before everything happened.

Before the break, I was slipping into a depression. Something that, unfortunately, wasn't new to me. It runs in the family and this time of year it always gets bad.

But I decided to change that.

I decided to take better care of myself. I will try to be easier on myself and do the things that I love doing. I will stop caring what other people think. I will not let others choose my path for me, and I will make my own decisions. I'm an adult now and I need to start taking care of myself for once. I need to be strong on my own.

I am going to do whatever I want and not feel bad about it. I will try to have as few regrets as possible and try to never look back. I will let go of grudges. I will be more open minded. I will treat others with love, regardless of what they have done to me. I will try to not hurt others, and mostly not hurt myself. I will be smarter with my choices. I will think about things more thoroughly.

Basically, I'm going to live smarter. It's not something I can really explain, I just have to do it.
