Manifesto to myself a year ago.

Jade, stop worrying so much! Relax and take the time to enjoy the experience. You won’t get this opportunity again, ever!

Don’t rush! Wait for ideas that inspire you. Make sure you truly believe in a concept and take it as far as you can. Push those boundaries and don’t be afraid to try new things, nothing is wrong after all. This is the time and place to ‘fail’ and make mistakes - If you even can!  Take this opportunity as a chance to learn and grow as a person. Find ‘you’, more importantly, who you want to be!

Breathe it in and take the good and bad, and find the positives in both.

Take the pressure off yourself and explore different tangents. Find new interests and investigate things that inspire you.

Find balance and don’t strive for perfection…It’s not possible or even required. Remember you are only human. Believe in yourself along with your ability. You never know you might surprise yourself and actually make yourself proud.
