Sometimes Taking The Fight Is The Only Choice We Have

I have often felt like Rocky Balboa.

The underdog. All odds against him. People not believing that he could come back from defeat. People trying to knock him down every chance they got. People secretly happy he was down. And he himself thinking maybe he couldn't come back.

The thing about comebacks though - they are freakin' awesome!

The people that believed in you all along are there to celebrate alongside you, genuinely happy for you because they know what you've been through to arrive to this place, right here and right now.

Even the haters rejoice, silently, but they rejoice. They too know.

I'm a fighter, I'm a warrior, and I've fought and won my share of battles. Yes, the battle is worth it, justice needs to prevail, and for some of us, taking the fight is who we are, it's what we're made of. But at what cost?

You see, if you fight enough battles, it tires you, it wears you down, it leaves you completely exhausted.

And I have never walked away from what was and is important, until walking away was the only choice I had.

And if you're a fan of Rocky Balboa as I am, you'll know then, that he was the underdog who rose to fame, only to lose his way, only to discover what was truly important all along, fighting to come back, better and stronger than ever, showing everyone he wasn't done yet, that he was far from done.

We have a choice to take the fight or walk away.

I fought until I had to walk away, but now the underdog is back, back in the ring more fearless than ever, ready to show everyone who tried to keep her down that a comeback is just around the corner

Unless...

The comeback already happened!!
