"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists... it is real... it is possible... it's yours."-- Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"

I stumbled on this quote a while ago, and as I have a huge thing about little sayings and quotes that explain feelings or emotions better than the individual themselves, I thought it was appropriate to use. I've realised that everybody at some point in their life, comes across a time where they feel that living is about all the surviving they can handle, I know I've had it. But I've also overcome it. That feeling, believe it or not disappears...with help from friends, family, a song or a teacher. That feeling goes away. We often spend so long feeling sorry for ourselves when things go wrong, we forget that it's not the end until things are ok. That's the thing with pain...you have two choices...you can either let it destroy you, or you can turn and fight back. I guess thats up to you. People have so much fire in them, probably more than they know and if they want to fight, if deep down inside of them they know they are not ready to give up, they can fight like hell to survive. They can find the paper that can re-light the fire and give them the energy to face another day.
