I don’t know where my life will end up nor do I know everything that I’ll say and do the rest of my days..
But I am sure of one thing:
Never will my story say that I gave up, quit or stopped trying.
That’s never been an option for me.
I wish I could tell you that my life’s journey has been a choice,
But it chose me.
I did what I had to do to survive, kept going and overcame the stuff that life has threw at me.
Truthfully, it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever known, just to keep fighting and pushing forward.
There have been so many times when I’ve cried  in the shower or even whenI wanted to scream at the top of my lungs..
And sometimes, I have to do just that.
But what I didn’t do was give up or quit.
That’s not in my blood or something I’ll ever be okay with.
I’m always going to find a way to solve my problem or find my way through the hardest days.
Call me stubborn, strong or determined- it really doesn’t matter I'll still be me.
But what you’ll never call me is a quitter.
I’ve come too far and worked too hard to get here. I can't stop now.
I have scars and reminders through out my journey that make me appreciate how hard I’ve worked, what I’ve accomplished and where I came from.
Every day isn’t beautiful, but there is something beautiful in every day.
And no matter what, I still find  amazing moments and the happiest places.
And just like every day and every battle that I have to fight..
I’ll never stop trying to become the best version of myself.
That’s what strong people do..
And that’s just what I am-
Strong, determined and blessed,
Just the way that I always set out to be.
And I never gave up-
And I never will.
Now watch how high I can rise.
