The Day I Gave Up My Small Battles

I decided to leave small battles for small fighters: I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me I have stopped fighting with my relatives I stopped fighting for love and attention I've stopped fighting for my rights in rallies I stopped fighting to please everyone I left this fight to those who have nothing to fight for anymore I began to fight for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny The day I gave up on small battles is the day I became contented and much happier.

Personality wise, being myself is the least I can do now. I change a lot from being introvert to passionately want to become extrovert to help others. But sometimes, the pressure of peer group and the emotional attachment hurt me most. When you help others, it seems it is not enough to please them. In return, I always go back to being myself. Thank you, Darlene, you really get me inside. How I love you even more./Hugo.
