The grind

There are a thousand different things that come with the struggle. Each one feels dramatic on its own, but when you throw them all together, you have to maintain, stay present, and take things day by day. I’ve had moments where I was spiraling really bad—felt like I gave up on life. That feeling scared me to death because life is beautiful. I have a life, and I need to make it better. So I’m staying strong through all of it, mentally and physically, because that’s what it takes. Day by day.
