There was a dream…

There was a dream…

I'm twenty six years old. I've been out of school for 4.5 years. And I'm tired. I'm so damn tired of doing everything else.  I put all of my energy and effort in to everything I don't want to do. Why? Because something inside my head just accepted the fact that what I wanted wasn't possible....
