“Most dreams die a slow death. They're conceived in a moment of passion, with the prospect of endless possibility, but often languish and are not pursued with the same heartfelt intensity as when first born.

They feel like the time and devotion spent on chasing their dreams were wasted. The emotional scars last forever.”
