Be a dreamer. If you don't know how to dream, you're dead.

I envy those who are born with a dream. From their formative years, a specific desire instilled within them motivates and guides their desicions. Then there's me. I have many dreams and ideas of what I want my life to look like, what I want to do, and how I want to do it.

For me, I am at a place in life where experience is invaluable. The more I expose myself to life and opportunities, the more I want to pursue every avenue that comes my way. However, we all know that choices keep us from pursuing each and every opportunity that presents itself.

I hope that through all this experience I've had and will have, a dream will begin (or continue to form). What do I want my life to look like? I've heard it said that we should begin as we mean to end. Perhaps this is the beginning of something for me...the beginning of letting go of finding my dream -- my end. I just want to live and stop trying to figure out everything.

I don't want a position or status right now. Right now, I want to be one among millions and understand an aspect of humanity that I've kept hidden in the dark corners of ignorance and arrogance. I want to live and breath this humanity. I want to embrace purpose in seemingly hopeless situations.

Accomplishments merely reflect work and ambition; they don't reflect me. They are not my identity; they are not my dream; they are not me.

Show me life; show me humanity; show me You.
