Meaning
This reads as self-protection mixed with resolve. It can be taken to mean that bad days are real, but she chooses not to hand them the final word, and instead presents steadiness to the outside world. In a public life where every mood can be read by others, it lands as a way of holding dignity even when things feel off.
