Such a beautiful story of pain and growth. You are so close now, and it will all have been worth it when you look back one day, figuring out how the universe took you to where you wanted to be without knowing it.
MI is awesome. Congrats on your mad persistency and don't beat yourself up for going back to fast food and non-exercise for a while, we are humans and can only take so much shit at a time without needing to vent.

I feel your adventure is still under a blessed star somehow. Just a little bit further now and you will have the monumentous upside coming your way. No downs without ups.
Much love to you and your little tribe, you guys will be fine <3
