Again and again...

I've been learning English, again and again, with the firm intention that one day I'll be as fluent as a native. Is my dream too big? I set out a long and schizophrenic way, on which I am swung by hopes and doubts. I keep thinking positively, meditating, visualizing my ambitions to make them a reality. I use to have weeks 'with' and weeks 'without'. Sometimes, words do not come out, and I feel that the only place I am progressing is in my head. I can talk to myself in English for hours, with the right words, the right syntax, a better pronunciation. It is an ecstatic feeling, that fills my hopes. I'd love to be confident enough to speak loudly and publicly the same way I talk to myself. I used to be so handy with words in French, allowing me to articulate complex ideas, excel in problem-solving, and now, I feel being the dumbest people in the room. Not having enough words constrains my thought process. Am I sound daunting? Yeah, I prefer to think that it is part of the learning process, I prefer to think that I am a Tortoise that will meet the Hare at the end of the race. I needed to share these thoughts with you guys. Maybe one of you will feel me :) Thank you in advance for the correction, and if it rings a bell to you, do not hesitate to comment!

Very good. Seems to be mostly small things that are wrong.
