I wrote a poem titled Treasure, inspired by a novel titled The Alchemist. The tale follows a young shepherd boy searching for his treasure, his wealth. It was a dream he had that led him on his journey. This book was exceptionally inspiring because it made me think about my very own personal legend. We often think we need to have a certain amount of money or, today, a high social following to accomplish our goals, but that is not the case. Like in The Alchemist, I’m finding that the journey is the reward, and the result of getting through our journey is just the icing on the cake.
