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.

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
