I’m this 20-something year old dreamer who lives by the words I write and the dreams I create. I have envisioned this perfect “career” life for myself and decided to write it down. This is my faith biography, these are my aspirations, my dreams, the actual blueprint to the rest of my life. When I look back at it and read it, i literally laugh out loud because I have absolutely NO IDEA how I am going to make all of this happen, but after all, i’m only 24, I still have time….right?? And by the way, I’ve done about 25% of this….
