Roots & Wings

Dreaming gets harder. Not because we lose imagination, but because we gain context. We know the cost now.

That longing used to make me uncomfortable. Somewhere along the way, humility got tangled up with pretending you do not want the big thing, the loud thing, the shiny thing. But ambition, when it is rooted in purpose, is not arrogance. It is honesty.
