It's definitely nice just to have clean air and to be around nice people. I have overwhelming joy sometimes, now, just because of these small, wonderful things.

I am starting to exercise again.

Yes, struggles are real, we both know. It's cliche but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It may be ourselves again. Some very bad things have happened to me, but I maintain a positive attitude because that just who I am.
