Present.

Last year I decided to choose one word to represent my new year, rather than a slew of resolutions that would inevitably get lost on my desk. Last year, my word was grow. This year, present.

Looking back at 2015, I see that I did grow, a lot. I went from student to full-fledged adult. I grew from a photographer with no business to an entrepreneur. I'm still scared to do a lot of things, and learning so much, but I truly feel that I grew into the Grow and I want to do the same for a second year.

This year I want to be present. Anyone who has talked to me for more than ten minutes knows my intense desire to do things "in the future." I want to go back to Argentina, I need to visit family abroad, I must pay off those student loans because right now they make life horrible . . . I'm tired of listing these things off for people and I know they are tired of hearing me mutter on and on. I want to enjoy my time here and now. Yes of course, I'll work towards my goals, but I am going to enjoy where I am and those I am with, now.

Thanks for sticking with me. If you could pick one word to describe your new year, what would you choose?
