My New Years Resolution

I don't usually make New Years Resolutions, generally because I know I won't carry them out or I just can't think of anything realistic.  But this year I did have something I decided to promise myself.  This year I want to be more honest with myself.  Specifically more honest about my feelings. More honest about whether I like doing certain things or hanging out with certain people.  I feel like I shut myself down sometimes and do things I don't enjoy, merely because others are doing them too.  I want to be able to be in more control, but I can't until I can truly tell myself how I feel.  High school is a critical time in your life where the purpose is to try different subjects and activities to discover your interests.  I can't do that if I'm stuck in my shell.  Though I'm only a freshmen, I still want to think about my future, and the first step in finding out what makes me happy, because that is what matters.  So here's hoping I can follow through and in the process, learn a little more about myself.
