Hell yeah, fam.

You know what, it's super dumb, but I bought myself some little bracelets with motivational messages on the inside. They are hidden on the inside so no one else has to see them, and it's silly but I feel like it helps me to look at them and remember what the message is.

Also another dumb thing, but I got a particular tattoo that means something to me. I got it in a visible location so I can sometimes remember to look at it and draw strength from it.

This post is probably very offensive to someone with athsma ๐Ÿ‘€
