It was a little before 11 in the morning and I’d already up hours. I flopped down onto the couch after my final set of squats. Pulling out my phone, I scrolled through my Facebook feed for a few minutes after finishing my morning workout. Time to catch a breather before eating my second meal […]

I can’t even begin to describe what this is like. Sure, I can describe what this looks like. But I can’t describe the feelings that go with it. This is freaking amazing. I haven’t seen so much at once in so long. It’s not perfect, but I can see. I can’t believe I’ve missed so […]
