Ava looks much younger than she really is. She has basically been through hell and back.
Without the focus that she has taken, she would be in the gutters and struggling.
The pic of her pulling up her shirt and the contract with Gaspari has really helped her.
Without this in her life, she would self-destruct.
Do I want it that bad? No.
Not a Pro Card or any of that shit.
Do I want to stay in shape? Hell yeah. A lot of my self confidence and self esteem rely on it. If my mind and focus wander, I get easily lost and off track.
I don't know if she's as "naturally" driven as she is more 'forcefully' driven. And she ain't a natty by any stretch of the imagination.
This is her last stand. Very soon she will be like Betty Parisio. Time to hang up the trunks and let the aging-process set in.
