I woke up at 3:30am this morning because this topic was firing all throughout my brain. I decided take an early morning drive and record this episode on top of the mountain for you all because this needs to be heard. Quitting is the worst thing you can do. I've been at the point of wanting to quit. I've felt that extreme discomfort and feeling like I have no idea what to do next. The key is to keep going.
