I was far stronger then I ever believed. That each little decision I made I made sure that I was putting my needs before any other and all those small decisions could turn into bigger victories. As well, being transparent and open about all aspects of this journey have paid off ten fold. I had no idea that if I simply reached out for support that there would be so many amazing people there to help me and in reaching out.... I became a light to them as well with each small victory we shared together.
