    Today has been the hardest day yet. I woke up again at 4:30am. I was beyond tired but my mind had other ideas. I figured since I can not sleep I might as well go to the gym. But I didn't want to go because I was tired and in a bad mood. I knew I needed to go, it was good for me, so I put on my...
