And I believed everyone else when they told me the same thing.
I became what you wanted. What everyone wanted. A fighter. Not fighting for anything. Just fighting everything.
But I’ve learned that you’re all wrong. The world isn’t like a chessboard. It’s filled with a lot more gray than black and white. There’s as much love as there is hate. And sometimes, just getting into the fight means you’ve already lost.
I’m okay with whatever happens next. I’m not going to fight it.
