The other day, I stumbled upon the concept of ‘Dream Moments’ in Ali Abdal’s newsletter. It got me thinking about my own life and the dreams I’ve lived without even realising it.

Years ago, if someone had told me I’d be studying and working in a foreign country, communicating solely in English, I’d have thought it was a fantasy. Yet, here I am, living that very dream. It’s surreal to think about the younger me, who viewed such a future as unattainable.

Then there’s the shift from being a regular staff member in a corporation, bound by the typical 9 to 5, to embracing a work-from-home lifestyle with a flexible schedule. Once I thought working hard and climbing the corporate ladder was my ultimate goal. How wrong I was, I didn’t know how vast the world is, how many opportunities are out there, and the thousands of ways one can live.

And now, I find myself with the opportunity to go back to school, studying what I’m interested in, working on what fascinates me. It’s these moments, these incredible turns in my journey, that I cherish. They remind me of how far I’ve come and how dreams, no matter how far-fetched they seem, can become reality.
