You're stronger than it feels.

I didn't always have a plan.

I didn't always have a plan.

Most days I was just trying to get through the next hour without falling apart.

Then when everything sucked, I fought, because giving up wasn't on the table.

That's literally all I knew how to do, and somehow it carried me.

Now I look back and think, damn, that girl was tough. She didn't know it then, but she was keeping us alive.

If you're in that spot right now, white knuckling it, just take one breath at a time.

You're stronger than it feels.
