Hey, Fighter!
Stubborn, hell bent, fierce person you!
I know you got that fire.
Strongly determined to keep it alive, no matter what.
You've got this personality that not everyone understands. You like challenges, adrenaline rushes, loud music and just living life. The people, who do understand you, are kept close. Those who don't, you shut out immediately. I know you've been fighting for a very long time. Fighting either a battle, to complete a goal or for a cause you believe in! Whatever it is that makes you a fighter, this article is for you. To remind you to keep fighting, no matter what!
Not everyone sees the battles you fight. When you fight, you give it your all! You either win some or you lose some. Either outcome, you always manage to wake up every morning, determined to see what comes next. Sadly, when you lose a battle, it really gets to you. Being a Fighter, you have experienced many low moments. The battles you have lost have mentally, emotionally or physically drained you. You don't always like to admit that it got to you because you want to remain the strong person you are. You put a smile on and try to overcome it.
I can say I know how it feels because I am a fighter as well. Some of my lows have been from heartbreaks, long days or mind-blowing experiences, another person would be terrified of. This time, the low I felt was from a person. This person didn't fight for me and made me feel upset. What this person did to me, I would never wish on anyone. Since this person brought me down, I have tried to fight off the feelings of complete and utter shock and insignificance. This person had done something that although somewhat forgiven for, will never be forgotten. Yet I have fought for myself! I have shown this person that despite everything they did, I am still my sassy and fun self. I know I am strong and deserve much better.
Listen, fighter. I'm not lying when I say it is hard to be the bigger person. To fight the urge of giving up or flipping out is a struggle. But you have to keep your cool because you are a role model. In the lowest moments, it can be hard to remember to be positive. You show people your strength and how it is possible to never give up. That's why you distract yourself with some highs! Workout, go out, meet new people, write, read or sleep! For me, working out helps a lot! I have taken up boxing and let me tell you, that is some serious fighting. I guess that also makes me a fighter as well. When I put my gloves on, I'm ready to punch. Punching the bag releases a lot of anger and stress. I also feel this insane rush at the end when I feel as though I hit really hard.
At the end of the day, you know it's worth it to continue to fight. You consider yourself to be a fighter because you don't give up or give into the lows. If you ever find yourself struggling again, just remember this quote: "I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me." Joshua Graham.
