Quote: “When you need a reminder of what strength looks like, look at yourself. Look at what you have done, how far you have come, all that you have moved past and overcome, repeatedly, constantly, daily. You are strength: you are strong. You are a living, breathing reminder that you have the strength to hold on.” Unknown Author
