Fatal Knockout Julie Bailes

Fight. It's an action some encourage and others dissuade. Since the day I was born, fighting has been instilled into my mind; fight for what I believe in, never throw the first punch, just the last. Consciously or subconsciously-either physically, emotionally or spiritually-we fight. Each of us, at some point in time, struggle. Many strive to withstand their battles, but only those who were born to fight will overcome them. True fighters lack weakness. They abstain from carelessness, refrain from trusting their opponents, but most importantly, they never accept defeat. Every second, minute, hour and day, I will fight. We all fight for various reasons. My reasons? Life and love. Both are precious, often taken for granted, and can rip our hearts out in the matter of seconds. If I've learned anything from this life, it's to always expect the unexpected.
