Today was the first day of my trip to Washington D.C. Was I anxious at different points throughout the day? Yes. But I did it. I made it through the day and made some great memories, my particular favorite thing today was visiting the Library of Congress. The inside was absolutely beautiful and I found myself choosing to sit on a bench just to stare at the ceiling. Anxiety can be so annoying sometimes, the dissonance can be frustrating but I will say, the amount of progress I made today was tremendous. Earlier this year I visited Philadelphia and had a very difficult experience my first day, so compared to that first day this was a day of huge progress. I moved through discomfort, I faced it, and I didn't let it stop me from having a good day.
