I'm lucky enough to accomplish what I can on my own in life-a great career, financial security, wonderful friends- But I want a family, and this is something that I can not accomplish alone. Sometimes its a struggle to be 100% confident that I will find one, knowing this goal cannot be accomplished alone.

Inspirational Quote

Index_card_top “In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless... Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.”
 
Ayn Rand  (1905-1982);
writer, philosopher
