WHILE IT SUCKS

You’re one decision away, plus the courage to see it through.

A father who vanished. A stepfather who burned the house down. A mother gone too soon, years lost to depression, and a betrayal that gutted everything. Randall Thomas spent thirty-seven years collecting reasons he never had a real chance — until one decision changed what all of it meant.

This isn’t a book about what happened to him. It’s about what he did with it — badly at first, scared the whole way — and how you can do the same with whatever you’re carrying.

“What happens to you is not your fault. What you do with it afterward is entirely your responsibility. I don’t get to choose most of what life sends me. What I get to choose is what I build out of it — every day, including the days it’s still sending me plenty.”
