If there's anything in this life that makes you want to keep living, don't take that for granted. This world is a harsh place, and will chew you up and spit you out, but we're only given the life we're given. We get one chance at this, and it's absolutely worth living. Even if there's one thing, one tiny thing keeping you holding on... hang onto it. Cherish it. Let it bloom and blossom into something that helps sustain you more and more-- give you more and more reason to keep trying-- until you realize you've built an entire, beautiful garden, full of a life you can be proud of. One that you can share with others who have loved and supported you. Not necessarily flesh and blood relatives, but the ones who adopt you into their lives and make you feel like you belong. Like you're not worthless.

I am breaking free from the generational trauma and religious abuse I endured from my emotionally immature parents. The kind of abuse that made me feel worthless and wrong, for years. Made me feel afraid, for years. Made feel as though I had no voice, for years. Made me feel controlled and misunderstood, for years. Made me feel guilty, for years.

I people pleased. I put other people before myself because I was afraid to say no or defend myself. But I'm growing to love myself more. I'm chosing myself over the people who don't deserve my time and energy. I only have so much of it left to give, after I've given so much of myself-- pieces of myself here and there-- for years. I will collect my pieces. I will take them and I will rebuild with the help of those who truly love me... and I will be a stronger person for it.

I will fight because I have a reason. A good reason. And that's because I'm not done yet. I'm not done as a person. I have so much more left to learn. To give. To teach. To love. To experience. To fight for. To become. I have people who want to help me be the best person I can, who support me and understand me and love me. My wife, the most. And isn't that all anyone can ask for in life? Isn't that worth fighting for?

Fight for something. For someone. Anything. Fight for your art. Your family. Your music. Your respect. Your right to exist, if you have to. Fight for yourself, because even if you think there's nothing else life can give you (or you can give to others) you might be surprised. It might be just right there, within reach, right before you know it. Just keep fighting.
