I'm [ ? ] years of age now.
Is it the right time to [ ? ] , reflect and evaluate?
If I could use one word to describe me right here and now , it would be : [ ? ]
How would a trusted friend define me if I asked them for [ ? ] honesty?
Am I : [ ? ]
I'd best describe my current life as : [ ? ]
I have been in the midst of [ ? ] for far too long.
I don't want to do [ ? ] anymore.
Do I coast along and meet my commitments or am I [ ? ] free of those?
Do I have [ ? ] anymore?
Do I have [ ? ] to pursue?
Is there anything [ ? ] me if I took the risk?
As I contemplate, I know now it is the right time to stop, reflect and evaluate.
And yes, it seems I still have dreams.
The future belongs to those who have the courage to believe in the beauty of their dreams.
