Blog — Giving up

I've been noticing a lot of comments coming my way recently about how I'm an inspiration, how strong I am, and how people are so happy they met me. I'm shocked. Utterly shocked. And I'm not just saying that to be modest or humble. Honestly, I sit there and listen to different people's stories and the things people have to overcome and I feel incredibly lucky.
