Continually fighting...

As we all walk through life, we're consistently fighting. It may not always seems hard, which is what people usually classify as the main characteristic of fighting, but really we are. If we're not fighting each other, were fighting to learn and grow and become wealthier (aahh that right there is something beautiful to be fighting for... anyways). The reality of it all is that we need to know ourselves well enough to decide when something is worth fighting for. I get extremely disappointed when I hear someone say "I know you, and this is what you want/need/would do". That's total bullshit. No one else is in my brain (thank goodness!) and no one else can really, thoroughly and completely understand me. The hard part is getting to know yourself. Sometimes the best remedy is spending time alone (a good bubble bath is always a plus), but you can't learn everything about yourself until you look at how other people make you feel, how you act around other people and essentially how others make you react. I truly suggest finding one (more, if you can) person that is constantly challenging your mind and your personality. Someone that always makes you think outside of the normal realm thought. Someone that helps you learn more about yourself. Because once you've delved deep enough into yourself, you can decide if what you're fighting for is worth it. It's doesn't always have to be something you want, either. Fighting for things can be absolutely worth it if it's what's right, or what's meant to be. If you love someone so much you want whatever is best for them and what's best for them isn't necessarily what is best for you, then fight for it. Do it because it's the right thing to do. Do it because eventually someone is going to love you that much, and if you have the right frame of mind, you can let them help you get whatever you want. It is human nature to be kind. And if being kind hurts you, then so be it, because if doing something nice for someone else is what's right, just fucking suck it up and fight for it. I am a true believer that we are all products of our environments. We do as we know. But if you challenge what you know, then you're more likely to fight what situation your environment has put you in. Don't get me wrong, if your situation is making you happy and you feel that your life is worth living, then just fight to keep it that way. You don't always have to be changing to be learning. But for God's sake, always try to be learning. Not just from books or learning what people tell you to learn, but try to learn to better yourself. You can always make yourself better, always. And if you fight for the right things, then you're probably going to benefit from it in the end.

And someday, when you have learned exactly what it is that you want to fight for, I hope that you find someone that wants to be there right by your side while you're dong it, because that is exactly what love is.
