Think of a time when your dreams felt impossible?
gregori [183]

When I was younger my dream was to become a singer, but as I got older I realized that it was never going to happen because for one I don't have a good singing voice and two...I don't even know how to become a singer. But it's all good because eventually I got over that stage and right now when I grow even more older I now want to become a vet because of the passion I have for animals.  ♡
