I have known nothing but strength. I always needed to be the strongest person in the room, not for my ego, but for survival. My husband taught me that it does not make you weak to need someone. He helped me drop my guard enough to lean on him. Today, I will be leaning on him quite a bit because I am feeling very down, unseen, and discouraged. I work my ass off and love my Academy. I just wish others saw the value in the work I do. I wish I did not have to wake up and ask for tips and support.
