When you are with your back against the wall, and fighting for who you are and who you want to be in life, you not only start to take stock of the world around you, but also, sometimes, of your own position in the world. It is in times like these that you start to question everything you have known, love and trusted. Suddenly you start to question your own preferences. You become a stranger to yourself and old friends even sometimes can become foreigners that suddenly speak a different language than you do.
But even though these uncertain times can be tough, one must not become bitter in situations like these. There is usually a good reason why life makes war with us. There is only one way to win, and that is to take every battle and fight till the bitter end. Only death can truly defeat the human spirit. When you fight your battles, a lot will be at stake, but you do net need to win every single battle. There are ones that are more important than others. Besides, we often fill our lives with things that we do not really need and we only carry with us in the belief that one day it will make life more beautiful.
But we only really ‘have’ here and now, and our memories – the future is too unpredictable to invest countless pipe dreams into it.
