I'm not exactly sure what my dreams and desires are anymore. They have changed so much over the years. This year in particular has completely pushed me into short-term plans rather than acting on any desires I might have. As to following desire all I can say is that the one I am currently trying to achieve is simply to get through this challenge. Baby steps are all I can manage right now and that's enough for me. So, while I did not write on following desire, I did write on having the opportunity to do so. I hope you are managing to follow your dreams and desires and/or will be given many opportunities to achieve them!
Capital Gains

Hopes and expectation
Rarely stand the duration
Of truth’s reality
And so brings frustration.
In actuality
We bargain a plea
That life grants us one request,
This one idiosyncrasy,
That this, our bequest,
Is given, and addressed,
An opportunity, and maybe a second chance,
To reach our dreams and, in them, invest.
