I’m very transparent about what I’ve endured in life and the obstacles that I’ve overcome. I’m not ashamed of it. Everything that I’ve been through in life prepared me for who I am today and who I’m going to be.

There’s a lot of freedom in knowing that I can get up, function and get through my day without having to rely on having something or enough of something to be able to make it through the day. That, to me, is true freedom, and I am thankful for it every single day. We do recover.

That week, down in the lower forty / we all got born again. / It was hard to say who saved who.
