I'm not easily intimidated. I don't flinch. I don't back down and I certainly don't surrender. I have to believe that defeat is not an option, that no matter how screwed up my life gets, there's hope for me...
But even when my hopes give way to reality, and I finally have to give in to the truth, it just means I lost today's battle, not tomorrows war...
Here's the thing about surrender, once you do it, actually give in, you forget why you were even fighting in the first place...
