Dear 21 Year Old Me...
Dear 21 Year Old Me, I am writing to let you know that currently I can out run you…school you on the b-ball court…dance longer (and better while I’m at it)…plus I’m stronger than you and your clothes are too big for me.

A Year is Made up of 365 Days
For every night I chose to face pain and embrace it rather than cover it up, escape or justify my way around it…I gained grit and perseverance…but it was slow and tedious
