growing up, i had many dreams and imaginations for my life. as i have come to understand myself more deeply, i have begun to let go of many of these dreams and imaginations. they no longer fit who i am and the life i desire to pursue. and yet, there is a sense of loss and sadness. they tug at my heart a bit as i watch them disappear in the rear view mirror. my gaze returns to the road ahead. the sun is climbing up over the horizon, and a beautiful life experience is unfolding. pedal down. onward!
