Go you @sarahwanderlust. From an outsider's perspective, I would say that you're DEFINITELY on your way to getting there. Clearly you're putting in the time and effort that is required. And although it is tough and not easy, I'm sure you're learning a ton and making small movements forward.

I know you'll break through - keep doing it. One day a year or two from now you'll be sipping a cafe right beside the champs elysees with your french amoureux, feeling much gratitude for your past self who did all this epic work to get here.

Awesome post!
