What did you learn about the process of pursuing a dream?

Focusing on my own health gave me the capacity to love my family, friends, job, and responsibilities in the way that I always wanted. Before I declared this dream, I thought constant selflessness was the way but while I poured out for others I kept from being filled up, eventually becoming a dry, crusty vessel without much use. Individual therapy was the single greatest decision I have ever made for myself and learning the “shape of time” and being patient as aspects of my dream unfolded and came to fruition on a different timeline than I originally planned was very healthy for me to learn.

What advice would you offer to dreamers pursuing a similar dream to you?

Come up with a great plan but be patient and flexible as life changes it. Changes to your dream does not necessarily mean you failed, it just means that you get to keep iterating to achieve your dream.
