“To be nobody but yourself
in a world that’s doing its best
to make you somebody else,
is to fight the hardest battle
you are ever going to fight.
Never stop fighting.”
– e. e. cummings
I find that when I stop fighting
to find my own self, my own way,
is when things start to turn - and not
in a good way. When I let my guard
down, when I stop fighting off the
negative, it's very easy to wallow.
It's like stepping into a lake with a
very muddy bottom. If you just stand
still, you feel yourself start to sink,
become mired down.
Sometimes life is like that, too.
Never stop fighting.
