“One of the hardest things for me to realize was that I had settled for and normalized mistreatment; I had accepted dimming my own personal light for the light of someone else. Then one day I was literally hit by an epiphany and I recognized that my strongest attribute wasn’t my body but my own personal resilience and resolve to shine for myself- that I didn’t need someone else to do it for me. I was able to get back up and walk away.”—Levi
