I've survived. I've beaten my own bad system, and on some days, on most days, that feels like a miracle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I survived by running away some. Running away to work.
I have survived and possibly I should not hope for more than that.
I've lived through a lifetime of crises and survived.
I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.
I feel like my life has been a series of miracles. I was in every sense a lost cause.
I was a healthy young man, and I thought I was invincible before I was diagnosed with kidney disease.
We've survived by believing our life is going to get better.
The reason why I have survived as long as I have survived is what my friends, comrades and supporters thought was an extraordinarily cautious approach.
One of the reasons I survived as well as I did was my genetics. My mother and father both had very tough lives, and boy, were they survivors.
I spent a lot of years trying to beat the system and, in the end, the system kicked my behind good.
