Simone Biles on Persevering Through Pain

On not giving up when things get hard: "I wanted to give up. But it would have been dumb because I've worked way too hard."
On going public as a survivor of sexual abuse: "For me, it was a weight that I carried so heavily on my chest, so I felt like, if I shared it with people, then it would be a relief for me. And I knew that by sharing my story, I would help other survivors feel comfortable and safe in coming forward."
On learning to prioritize her mental health: "I thought I could figure it out on my own, but that's sometimes not the case. And that's not something you should feel guilty or ashamed of. Once I got over that fact, I actually enjoyed it and looked forward to going to therapy. It's a safe space."
On keeping herself healthy: "Mentally, I go to therapy. But other than that, just surround myself with people who I love and who will give me good, positive vibes so that I can keep and stay healthy."
