“There's going to be days that as much as you struggle, you don't see results that you want. And I know that's not an easy ask, but I hope that you'll continue to struggle and keep going forward and recognize that as much as it doesn't feel like it, like there's days that are going to be better. When people tell me that stuff, I'm like, yeah, right. And it's just in a logical moment, but that's, that's, that's literally how it feels is things will not get better.
