I’d like to dedicate this piece to my dear friend. She called me last night -we hadn’t talked on the phone or in person for at least 2-3 months- to tell me how much my previous post. This meant a lot, as this is exactly the reason I do this. But then she asked me a question and it was a question I had asked myself many times. How do I keep going when everything is going to shit?

Had she asked me this 4 years ago, I would’ve told her: by surviving.

But now, in 2017, I know how to keep going even when everything seems to fall apart and I want to share it with you.
