In life, when you are faced with an unfortunate circumstance, there’s no book, there’s no guide, there’s no right answer on how to get to the other side. You just sort of wake up one day and you have two paths in front of you, one where you go up and one where you can fall, and choosing the path to rise is most certainly not the easy path but it’s the brave one.

I do have 14 tattoos, but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat.

Grief is a very scary thing, and there comes a point where it can really take you down.
