Had I known the cost of wanting to be something, I might have never wished to be anything. In this world, where every north can turn south, where a hopeful dream becomes a heavy burden, and failed ambitions lead to the vicious cycle of regret, what once made us smile as we lay down now keeps us awake in torment. Does a broken dream define a broken life? Don’t get me wrong—I’m not advising you to abandon your dreams. Simply reminding you that you are so much more than them.
