Because everyone's watching. Greedy to start talking. I'm losing my innocence. Wish i weren't a little girl who felt the weight of the world. It would be nice to start over again, Before we burn out. I'd give my breath. Let's play pretend
can I let my mouth do the listening
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one.

My Resolutions
The first resolution that popped my head as the new year rolled around while watching the ball drop on tv in New York City Time Square was to laugh, and smile, and mean it. This is a new year, and it’s going to be a happy one, and I’m going to smile my way through it like a healthy human.
second, is to love.
third is to not forget. I will not try to shove every non-happy memory that I’ve felt in my life. Yes it will be nice to forget, but this is something that has happened and we can’t let go. But what the past is, is something that we learn something new in the past, and changes everything we know in the present. Because when we try to forget and successfully do, we are bound to repeat the same mistake. So no more trying to forget.
fourth is to fulfill my dream, and it will be my new years resolution until the day I reach my destination. I may not fulfill my dream in one year, but one big step towards it is good enough. I will develop amazing study skills, and use my time wisely. I will go into the midterms and exams with a firm chin and a sense of courage that I’m going to walk out of a smile on my face and a sigh of satisfaction that I’m going to do okay.
fifth is to be friendly. To try hard not to disappoint, and to refrain from causing hurt and pain to anyone. with some exceptions
sixth is to learn how to say no once in a while.
seventh is not to feel guilty at every little thing.
eighth to have a bigger backbone, and if I fail to do so, then I shall build the tiny backbone that I have to be strong as a diamond.
nine is become fit.
ten is to see through the shell of a person and learn about the soul until I make my judgements
eleven is to make my parents laugh and smile more than they have ever done last year
twelve is to be artistic, and wild, and crazy, more than usual
thirteenth, is to be myself, and not be afraid to do so, because being yourself is much better than trying to act like someone you don’t agree with
fourteenth is to keep my morals, and stay true to them, not for them, not for anyone but myself.
fifteenth is to take the first step to accept myself
sixteenth, as always is to keep every single promise I make, and only make promises that I know I can keep.
