“I often look back and remember that moment because it reminds me how strong I am and that nothing really defines you,” Carey told ELLE during an interview ahead of the Summer Games. “You can have a bad day, a bad year, a bad few weeks, but you can still bounce back and be who you are. It’s just reminding myself that I never left, and I’m still here, and that I can be as good as I was.” 5nbc
