Today I stopped to capture the faded flowers, remembering the incredible beauty I witnessed when they were in full bloom. Better late than never in learning to embrace life with all its imperfections. I’ve subconsciously placed so much emphasis on the end goal, I’ve lost sight of what it really means to be alive. More than results and a fixed definition of success, I want to truly live—to enjoy the journey with the bumps in the road, to embrace the process of learning and growth, for both myself and for those around me.
