One Second Every Day

This time last year I watched a TED Talk that changed the way that I try and look at the world around me. The talk was from a man named Cesar Kuriyama and the app he created called 1 Second Every Day.

The idea is that there are so many tiny, beautiful, funny, tragic moments in your life and we need to remember them all--the good and the bad, the boring and the extraordinary. 

So on July 9, 2016 I started this project, and I have loved taking short videos every day. More than that though, I have loved looking back on the last year and remembering the small events that collectively have had a large impact on my life. In the last year I have gotten a new job, graduated from college, started a Masters' degree, moved, gone on trips. I have met some incredible people, said goodbye to some people in my life, been healthy, and been sick. I have felt pain, heartache, loneliness, and loss. But I have also felt peace, hope, happiness, and love. 

So here it is. The last 365 days of my life (some ordinary and some life-changing). It has been quite a ride, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

All the smiles and all the tears.

Even more homework and so many tacos and chicken nuggets. Check out year two of my one second a day videos. Plus there are some pretty wonderful people in my life and this is just a reminder of how great the people in my life are. Once upon a time when I graduated a friend said "Yay, now you'll have time to blog again." To this I say, baby steps.
