“My Dreams Have Footprints
They leave a trail and they linger on, they remind me of the future I believe to hold on, there is an elusive acquaintance with all life has in store and all we wish to live for. This subtlety brings future back and forth to our doorstep, with every step we make and every step we hold back. We are unable to comprehend the potential changes we make way for in life and potential setbacks we invite when we deny to move on. State of mind has a great impact on kind of dreams one see. They could be beautiful or they could be uneasy. Dreams get life only when we breathe them right. We breathe in the focus and breathe out a plan hence giving life to dream in front of us.

Dreams that wake us up in night are the ones that have most impact on our lives.”
― Aarti Bhardwaj
