Chase Your Dreams
I have wanted to be an author for as long as I can remember. I can recall that yearning deep inside me that I ignored and quietened down, because I couldn’t believe in myself back then. I didn’t understand the process and therefore I thought it was out of my reach. I figured I would [...]
