Dreaming Big Despite the Uncertain Course of Life
I'll travel all the countries of the world before I turn 30. I'll finish my PhD by the time I turn 25. I'll repay all my loans in the next three years so that I can finally start living the way I want. I'll go on my first solo backpacking trip as soon as I juggle to earn enough money for it. But what if I don't earn enough to wander the world? What if I have to take loans to study further and end up paying them back all my life? What if my flight crashes?

I also believed it to be completely cliché, until it actually happened to me. And yes, it did turn my life around for good. The only part that was missing was the tragedy part, and I'm thankful for that. You know how everyone says, "You know the things that you've always wanted to do? You should do them."? that's exactly me. I really do live by the ideal that we get only one life, and it's our responsibility to make it worth living. But an event occurred that forced me to change my ideals.
