Whenever I say that I still want to cry, best fucking feeling in the world, like right now, my life is times better than I ever thought it could be, even when I was drinking, when I was drinking and I thought I didn't have a problem and I envisioned what I think life should be like or how great life could be.
Meet Hayley, also known as 'The Baddest B in D.C.', a woman whose story is nothing short of extraordinary.
