If you really love something fight for it without giving up. The moment you stop fighting, you have given up and you have also seized to love. It's what I live by. It's how I've functioned every day, for 23 years and I have not known any different.
Having said that however it's one thing to be treated like a doormat and another to be a self-respecting fighter. Only you yourself can draw the line between the two. It may seem hard but sooner than later you are able to figure this out. Those of you who have figured out that you're the self respecting fighter read on. The rest of you can leave. Or not because if I've managed to keep you till here you may as well read the rest.
Keep fighting. Yes, keep fighting for your object of affection. You've clearly realized that only in its presence are you truly happy. You have tried a dozen times to end it and make it vanish because you felt like it was breaking your heart little by little, day by day, but the moment you did end it your life stopped. Time stopped. You stopped smiling. Unlike popular belief, the world actually came to an end.
Discouragement is your best friend. Every time you've spoken to a close friend about what you are in and how you feel you've been asked to leave the mess for your own good. But you can't listen and you feel like you're the only one who seems to have the hope. But guess what? You are the only one who needs to have the hope. It's your life. Your hope alone is strong enough to see you through.
Coming back to yourself, you too have days when you lose hope. You feel like you are fighting for a lost cause. You feel you are bigger than it and have full faith in your ability to move on. Self doubt is getting the better of you only to bring you back to feeling even more strongly for what you're feeling.
Don't worry, you are normal. You aren't in what you are because you are blinded by the love. You aren't in what you are because you are too weak a person to get out of it or to move on. You aren't in what you are because you are unaware of the the fact that you can do better or get better. You aren't in what you are because you are unaware of who you are changing into by being in it. You are aware of everything but it is what you want.
And you are a fighter. You are fighting because you know that what you have is what you want. You are fighting because you know that what you might lose by not fighting will be a big loss. You are fighting because you know that what you've found is the best you'll ever have.
