Dreams know no bounds

My body may be rooted here, but my spirit yearns to taste foreign land. I've always wanted to experience different parts of the world, and I naively thought I would get to...that is until life decided it would give me a major detour—or possibly a dead end.

After 31 years, I find myself still on the sidelines wondering when and how in this lifetime; the feeling I carry inside teeters between hope and looming despair.

My doctor once described #MuscularDystrophy as a form of accelerated aging, and while I know I’m still relatively young, I’ve often felt way beyond my years for most of my life. The silver lining in this figurative but insurmountable ticking clock has me saying, ‘if not now, when?’, as my guiding force for living a more present and fuller life.

All of this is to say that I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on lining all my ducks to make it happen someday. I’m not sure when but I trust that as long as I have a will, I will find a way. All in good timing. x
