The story of a fighter

As a kid I used to think the lesson these bed time stories give is that at d end we will all meet our happy endings but as I grew up I discovered its not what was meant to be delivered; they were primarily meant to teach us if demons did not exist so never did heroes. It matters not if your journey or the end is grand; what matters is if u’ve fought the demon in n around u throughout, which indeed makes u a hero in your own story.

This is my story, ordinary n probably less dramatic than many; yet for me it’s special because its all that I own. I’ve got my own share of shades - greys, whites n rainbows which paints the canvas of my life vivid; enough to be startled when my end meets.

This story is about my principles, my beliefs, my aspirations, my desires, my fears, my challenges, my wrongs n my rights. It’s my battleground n I’m a warrior. I met a few who were on my side (frndz, family, relatives, acquaintances n strangers), I met a few who were on other side (frndz, family, relatives, acquaintances n strangers), I met a few who cared to stay, I met a few who eventually changed n I met a few who decided to leave. I rejoiced when I got a lead, I mourned over my losses n I kept going. Along the way I tried to hold onto things n memories close enough to not let go but then I realized moving ahead was more important. Forgiveness, acceptance, selflessness n humility is more important. I can defeat my enemies but I can’t kill the demon in them. This life is only 1 chance to make it right, to be more than what we are today, to make a difference, to leave this world a better place than we came in. Winning to emerge a hero does not require much than to learn to shift our temptation of focus from negative to positive. A wise once said, “Darkness is nothing but absence of light”. Thus, for positive to thrive negative has to exist. We can only acknowledge n appreciate good if we have something to compare as bad. It’s all but one, differentiation lies only in the perspective n for the picture to be complete both bipolar n complimentary aspect needs to be present.
With the roses comes the thorn,
After dusk there is dawn,
All that glitters is not gold,
Even an half empty glass has half the water to hold.

This is the story of a fighter n there is a fighter in every one of you; find it, train it, provoke it to win over n be a hero!
