Why 365 days of confessions?

“The commitment and consistency of projects causes me to duck away prematurely, and it’s destroying not only my self-confidence, but the stepping stones that lead toward my goals.

How can I achieve the impossible if I give up the moment something feels impossible?

These confessions-paired with photos, videos, and sound-are my way of reclaiming the person I’ve been disconnected from and challenging myself to complete something daunting, step by step. A deadline each day over 365 days. A year of no rushing, no slowing.

This is for me.”
