Despite everything …

I flat-out refused to give in. Instead, in spite of a variety of what could be termed misadventures, I began to lean on my coworker until we were turning into real true bff’s like I’d never before known.

The woman was a lesson to be learned. Through a life fraught with change and its share of trauma she kept going and going and going. Like that battery bunny. Despite everything she man­aged to stretch, bend, go limp and bounce back with renewed determination and zest.

I so much wanted to be like that.
