Assignment 21- Abby Shadwick

An issue i'm currently facing is living in the present moment. As one of my New Year's resolutions, I strive not to "get through the day". Rather, I strive to take in the day at every moment, good or bad. Even non-ideal scenarios are times I will never get back. Present over perfect. I have spent months at a time self-absorbed critiquing my every move. I am the true definition of "harshest critic". I lived those months in fear, worrying about what others thought of my imperfect self, rather than relishing in who I was made to be. I now enjoy my nuances, and being myself. At the same time, I recognize that my overall human experience is 1000% better.
