You can do it, climber girl. No matter what they say
You may not be as tall
You may not be as strong
You may not feel as seen
But you have bravery that they can never know
You have a tenacity unlike anything they’ve ever seen
You have heart, you have courage, and you have the will
Keep going, climber girl
Fucking send it
