Never Give Up Without a Fight

-
Never give up without a fight! ...especially when you are fighting for one thing that would shape your life permanently! We all had that moment where we stand our ground and defending what is ours. We also had that moment where we fight to take back what is ours. Sometimes our reasons were driven by emotions that we can't think logically anymore because of the pain and pride that we felt. Our emotion is our trigger to fight for more. There's nothing wrong in fighting back so long you can draw the line between desperation and determination.

No matter how kind a person is, there is always a time in his life where he should fight. Kindness has its limit especially when one strode over your dignity. Or perhaps hurt the one you love. No matter how important is your reason behind, there is always a boundary between things that you can do and the things that mustn’t do. It's all right to have the winner mentality as long as you know how to accept defeat and be modest when you won. Just know when to stop when it's already meaningless to fight for more.

You should also remember that what is not for you will never be yours, and what is meant for you will be yours. You should also learn to let go of things that has let go of you. Don't get stuck up in the past. It's a war you'll never win cause you'll end up losing yourself.

Pride is not a self-respect and it's not the opposite of shame. You can't hide shame with pride! The only antidote to it is humility... and it comes from within. The first step to learn humility is to let go the feeling of shame and fear. So never give up without a fight if you understand what you were fighting for.

Here's a Relatable Poem about our Choices in Life . I walk down the street. There is a hole. I don't see it. I fall in. It isn't my fault. It takes a very long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is still a deep hole. I pretend not to see it. I fall in. I pretend it's still not my fault. It takes a long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is still the same deep hole. I see it. I fall in anyway. It's a habit. I get out quicker this time. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole. I see it. I walk around it. I don't fall in. I walk down a different street. -- Portia Nelson

Painful Break Up vs. Happy Break Up

-
I thought about this for some time. Why I felt no pain on my break up with my previous partner? there were no struggle, no regrets, just nothingness. In fact it was a happy break up. Months ago, I listened to my friend's story about her painful breakup with her boyfriend of 9 years. I knew the couple since from the start of their relationship. I wasn't expecting them to break up after all they've been through. I was expecting that they would get engage and get married. Infact, I was just waiting for their announcement because the last time we talked, she made a joke about them getting married soon. But that is not the story. This is about her pain and the processed she'd gone through compared to mine from my previous break-up. It was totally the opposite! As her friend, I can say I feel for her, I can relate somehow but only because I'm a woman too with emotions and had other other relationships before. But honestly, I haven't experienced being hurt so muc...
