Somebody asked me why I smile a lot and I paused for a moment to think about the answer then I just started smiling again. They then asked me how I found happiness and for a moment I had a series of flashbacks on how I got here. I then composed myself for a while and said, “Happiness comes when we choose to embrace it.” Truthfully I had a longer answer than this. This is what I ended up telling them:
“I Gave Up the Little Fights and Started Focusing on the Big Fights.”
I Stopped Fighting About What the Society Thought of Me,
I Stopped Fighting On What My Family Expected of Me,
I Stopped Fighting for A Cheating Partner,
I Stopped Fighting to Fit in with My Peers,
I Stopped Fighting to Be a Role Model for Others,
I Stopped Fighting to Be What Everyone Else Wanted Me to Be,
I Stopped Fighting My Destiny Blockers,
Instead,
I Started Fighting for My Dreams,
I Started Fighting for My Vision,
I Started Fighting for What Sets My Soul On Fire,
I Started Fighting for My Destiny,
I Started Fighting for My Journey,
I Started Fighting for My Sanity,
I Started Fighting for My Purpose,
I started Fighting for My Place,
I Started Fighting for My Rights,
I Started Fighting to Glue Black my Broken Pieces,
I started Fighting to Build My Legacy,
I STARTED FIGHTING FOR ME!
Remember;
SHE REMEMBERED WHO SHE WAS AND THE GAME CHANGED.
