MY REALIZATION TOWARDS MY DREAMS

“DREAMS - Maybe it's not about the happy ending. Maybe it's about the story behind it”

There is an inspiring quotation that tells that ”There is just one life for each of us: It’s our own.” There's this girl I know really well that I think you might like her nor hate her.
