Love this last paragraph - rereading it again and again... "I’m no longer sure what my one big dream is anymore. It feels like a relief to not know, actually. Maybe it means I’m finally living my life instead of waiting for it to take place somewhere off in the future. There are certainly things I want to do, but I no longer believe in some distant moment when everything will finally fit, when it will all fall into place. Things may never fit, it all may never fall into place. And it feels better than I could’ve imagined to finally let go."

Funny - I still want to hold onto some of my dreams. I feel they pull me forward AND I want to be fully in the present too - as you describe above, not waiting, wishing or what I do which can feel grasping, but LIVING. Thanks as always.
