i started walking and then i ran
hurdles came and i jumped over them
i tripped. i fell. i bled. i cried.
i kept going. i’m a badass. and i can do it myself.
just put my mind to it.
exercise. eat well. have fun along the way.
those trials taught me…made me stronger
so i kept going…

my hands…they fumble, they bend, they feel....
