Sure to Endure (Your Barrel Full of Monkeys is Finally Floating Down a River)

"The scariest thing was that I thought he was stronger than all of us. But maybe it's not about being the best. Maybe it's about finding the little things that get you through the day. Whether it's the support of someone close to you...or letting yourself feel overwhelmed...if only for a moment. Or being selfish every once in a while. I don't know. I guess in the end it's about surviving any way you can."

Contrary to what the prompt says...it's them that gets me through the day.
