I’ve been reading some social media posts from incredible women who’ve achieved amazing things this past year. They’ve given me hope that one day soon I might find the courage to throw caution to the winds and travel. Or find the energy to take up dance lessons again. And finish writing a damn book. Or even take another risk and find someone to share my life with and be happy. But to be honest, a lot of the time those things seem like pipe dreams. Insurmountable. Unachievable.

I joke to close...
