XYZ
When I was going through hard times, Matthew “XYZ” Grover was a nickname I gave myself. I was confronted by struggles that many people share, like injury, unemployment, or X, Y, and Z… As the last letters of the alphabet and a hypothetical saying, “XYZ” refers to a long list of problems. So I learned to embrace the XYZ of the struggle, and added it to my initials: MLGXYZ. In the words of Young Buck, “Enjoy the struggle cause the beautiful part of it is the hustle.”
