Your will and your mind cannot be broken, for you fight for others.

I think the important lesson to be learnt is that shit happens. You rarely get what you think you deserve and your hopes and dreams often come crashing down upon you. I feel miserable. I feel bitter. I feel like I deserve better. But what use will all that negative emotion do? Shit happens, and many a time whatever shit happens, it’s usually permanent. I can’t change anything.
But the...
“In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnamity.”
– Winston Churchill
You have experienced hardship and joy and all sorts of trials and tribulations, but the fact remains that you are but a hatchling - foolish and brash. You know little and have seen only a tiny corner in the bigger picture that is life.
You have grown much in these few years and you are not who you used to be; the very core of your being has inexorably been altered by the rush of time and you have...
It would seem as if I have forgotten myself yet again. Well it isn’t too late; it never is, for as long as there is life within me, there is a chance for me to set things right and live my life to its fullest.
I pledge to live with passion, to do what I love and love what I do. I pledge to be optimistic and to try my best to always be happy. I pledge to do what I can with what I have been...
You keep running yourself into the ground like this and someday you won’t be able to get back up anymore.
A cacophony of jarring noise and static buzzes in your head. Your old friend despair has come to pay a visit. He strides in without bothering to knock and embraces you warmly. Funny, you feel the cold wrap around you and draw life out.

If you knew you were going to die sometime soon, would you have any regrets? Would you be afraid?
Storm clouds gathered at the edges of his mind; the large masses of gray looming morosely over his consciousness. As time went by, they welled up sullenly and slowly, growing and growing until they swallowed his stream of thoughts.
Is it better to die for something than to live for nothing?
Hard work. Humility. Honesty in effort. Hunger.

“Do you ever miss being human?”
The boy pressed his fingers hard into his temples. A little bit of emotion here, a little bit of feeling there and a whole lot of drama and angst to top things off. He felt as though an internal eclipse of sorts was occurring. Somewhere deep within him, his humanity was being obscured by passion, fire and ambition.

“I’m nothing. I’m just meat, bones and mind. Just another speck on a small planet in a gigantic galaxy. My suffering, my pain, my joy, my triumphs, they all mean nothing relative to everything else happening out there in that big old world. I’m nothing, I told you.” The boy said.
“Now come on, have a little sense. you aren’t -“
