Langston Hughes' Dreams deeply resonates with my journey of pursuing goals amid self-doubt. The line, "Life is a broken-winged bird / That cannot fly," captures the feeling of being grounded when my academic and creative aspirations felt out of reach.
Hughes' warning, "Life is a barren field / Frozen with snow," reminds me of the emptiness I felt when I set aside my writing to focus on grades. Reconnecting with that dream restored purpose, proving that holding fast to dreams is essential for a meaningful life.
