and i too will survive.

i have not met her.

but i kind of feel like i have.

because as i watch this video i feel a keen sense of... what's the word?

kinship!?

perhaps because i can relate to her.
and to what can sometimes feel like overwhelming trials in life.

and i know mine are miniscule in comparison.

that those things that seem insurmountable to me are dwarfed by her daily challenges.

but seeing how stephanie copes with her hardships helps me feel optimistic that i can, hopefully just as graciously, cope with mine.
