#Throwback, Baby!

Oct 29

One of things I like best about #throwbacks is the ability to step back from the present to see where you once were in your life. For this #throwback, it's an extra special one for me.

In July 2014, I sent in a photo for Maa Vue's beautiful music video, "Tsab Ntawv." She asked her listeners to take a photo and share one thing they want to achieve in the next 20 years, hence the message of the song.

This was one of the images that I didn't choose to send.

But as I came upon it today, it's the one that best represents how I feel about dreaming big, chasing those bright lights, and setting awesome goals for myself. It's also a reminder of what I said I want to create in the next 20 years and just how crazy exciting it's gonna be.

So what about you? I know it's an inconceivable amount of time, but what do you want to create in the next 20 years?
