where have you been all this time?

my life has been a wonderful journey of ups and downs, of great strides and hard work, of failure and glory, of love and family. everything used to be a distant dream, a figment of my imagination. literally, it was 9,302 miles away. yes, that far. striving to sail through it and finally reach the mile end is only just the beginning. henry david thoreau once wrote, "i have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." he brought the truth and reality to the fore. i believe that we must continually endeavor to seek ourselves in the pursuit of our dreams, look within and constantly have an introspection of things that matters the most.
