The amount of difficulty that I have witnessed her bear has been incredible.
I think it’s the sustaining of this that she did which makes me so strong now. And then also realising all the love that is behind me, that helps as well. It had always been taught to me that in order to do big things, there had to be a stable base of Love, but I never quite believed it. That you had to have some kind of backing in order to fulfill your full potential.
But this theory is a valid one. It was through the sweat and labour of my grandparents and my parents that I can be here today.
And it’s also that realisation that makes me think that I can’t throw this away.
