Make it real!

Every New Year people are asked about their resolution. And yet some people still can’t figure out what they want to achieve. Is this necessary? Some tends to have it only at the beginning of the year & then breaks it because they can’t get with it! I personally think resolution should be made when a person really really has set target on something.

Resolution – According to Dictionary.com

• The state or quality of being resolute; firm determination.
• The act of determining upon an action or course of action, method, procedure.
• A course of action determined or decided on.

-Move along by the All-American Rejects-

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your hand
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know ya do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through

*suddenly I feel this song suits the new year*
