"They may win the battles, but never let them win the war." ~Me

When I was thinking of what to write for this chapter, this popped into my head. In my mind, it means that even if the haters seem to have won, come back stronger than before. Someone once asked me what my favorite magical creature was. I told them that it was a phoniex. When they asked me why, I said it was because a phoniex never stops fighting. It always comes back bigger, better, and stronger. The person asked me why that mattered. I looked them in the eye and said, "Because I may be broken today, but that doesn't mean that I have to stop fighting for a better tomorrow." While they were gaping at me, I turned and walked away.

So, the moral of this story is that even when someone knocks you down, you shouldn't stay down. You should get back up and prove them wrong. They think you're weak? Show them how strong you are. They say you're a coward? Show them just how brave you are. You don't have to lift weights or skydive to be strong or brave. Keep that in mind.

And never, ever, let someone tell you when it's time to quit.

Peace for now. Stay alive.
