This woman is not holding a misshapen party balloon. It's actually a balloon that's been ripped open, stitched back together again, and still floating against all the odds. The holder may not be enraptured with it, but she seems content enough. It will do.
The dreams we have when we were younger don't always work out. Even the dreams we have as adults can lose their way. But we shouldn't allow that to get us down or discourage us. Lyubov Dubina's picture shows us someone who's had the courage to put their dream back together again and let it float once more, even if it doesn't look exactly as it did previously. Note the angle of the woman? It's almost like she's being pulled along by the balloons. Your dreams - even repaired ones - can still carry you if you let them.
