## Caption

I learned to fight young. Was bullied a bit. I was never the biggest… certainly not the toughest. Eventually, it builds something in you. 

It’s served me well. Went from undrafted to captain, & its even helped in media. I can’t fight every battle though. Visibility has been an adjustment, but I’m working. I appreciate _dbane1 asking, “How (I) was doing”. He checked in on me, & reminded me to check in on myself.
