We all know how to celebrate wins, but what about losses? The ends of ourselves and broken dreams? In the past few years, I experienced a heart-crushing, crippling burnout that left me utterly jaded, depressed, and in a constant state of anxiety. But then, something happened that breathed new life into me and sparked a light in my soul - something that made me realize... the beauty of broken dreams.
