The Fighter

I am who I am today because of the obsticles i have over come, the people i have loved and who have loved me, and all the good and bad moments in my journey so far.  I am grateful for every smile i have smiled, every tear I have cried, every love I have lost, and every heart I have found.  I regret little and live much.  I have been burned and reborn in that fire and I am stronger now than i ever have been.  I struggle and I learn and I grow but i wont give up. 

I needed to remind myself of that today.  A friend of mine forgot.  I sit here and I wonder what happened to the two small little girls who sang into their hair brushes like the biggest rock stars ever and just knew without a doubt how awesome they were.  Life is tough, really tough sometimes.  I am struggling to understand giving up on the love and goodness this world has to offer and caving into the pain and heartache it sometimes costs to live it.  I want to tell her she is that awesome little person still.  I just cant.  She couldnt wait.  So I am here to remind you all of YOUR awesomeness.  Right now.  As you are.  And to tell you that it is worth the fight and the pain and the scars because nothing that means anything comes free.  We are fighters.  WE are worth it.  

 
"Give them hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life till we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes a fighter, there goes a fighter
Here comes a fighter
That's what they say to me, say to me, say to me
This one's a fighter"
