"I've only lived 18 years, but I don't want to change any of them. They're all part of my life, even the failures." -Makise Kurisu
For this one I decided to put down the first paragraph of my opening. I went with the anecdote route because the day I talk about is a perfect example of the Three Good Things process. This was a day that a lot of stuff clicked for me and I was able to let go of stress.
It’s a Sunday night and I’m hanging out with my friends in my basement as usual. For some reason my friend Katie’s house was brought up and I’m going off on a tangent about the island that separates her family room from her small dinning room. I was talking about how it doesn’t make any sense because it completely closes off the room, it makes it near impossible to pull the chair at the dinning room table out far enough to be comfortable, and just went on and on. Mid rant my friend Eric jokingly says that I should just be an architect and I stopped mid-sentence. It was a like sitcom where one character says something that makes another character stop cold and everything they were wondering about and stressing over just clicked and they knew what to do next. Because of that one joke I am now changing my career path.
