Sometimes we have to go on certain journeys in our lives and they take us to dark places. The dark places show us what we’re capable of, and in moments of darkness, we have a choice to stay or rise up.

FAVORITE QUOTE:
“I was that person. I always knew there was something missing. I knew there was a void. I was trying to fill it somehow and finally everybody said, I can’t believe you went for it at Warrior Night. You just raised your hands and you were down. What they didn’t understand was I just surrendered. I’ve been doing this for 15, 20 years by myself trying to fix all the things and fill the void, and trying to fix all my life. I can’t do this by myself anymore.”
