The Pursuit of “Impossible” Dreams
Many people know well of my pursuit of my dreams.It is not an attempt to somehow prove my worth to the entire world. It is for MYSELF. I spent most of my life in a state of misery and did not feel as though achieving anything at all was possible. At age 23, I found… Continue reading
