Of running towards life not retreating from it.<\/p>\n<p>I have a dream of becoming the very best version of me possible &#8211; the one that&#8217;s kind, generous, forgiving; the one that laughs a lot and is always ready with a helping hand; the me that is more open, loves a challenge, and truly lives life. Of being more trusting, more adventurous, more fun to be around.<\/p>\n<p>I have a dream of making a real difference to the world around me &#8211; in big ways and small; of being the kind of friend I want in my life; of loving more and fearing less; being less cynical. My favourite quote\u00a0for years was Carpe Diem &#8211; seize the day! I dream of doing that every day &#8211; making the most of every single day I have left.<\/p>\n<p>I want to write books, sing, play music. I want to inspire the people around me. I dream of living less in the past and future and more in the present; of continuing to learn. I dream of not being bound by the limitations of my condition but free to go, to be, to love, to\u00a0live.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as lofty a dream as MLK perhaps but it is enough for me.
