Do we have always have to Fight?

In this day and age, as Latinas, we fight. As girls, we fight. As women, we fight. As MOMs, we fight even more. What gives? Why are we also fighting?

We fight because we are the only ones that CAN. We follow through every piece of our lives. We make sure everyone is taken care of. We are the beings that everyone goes to for problems, issues, concerns or just need a hug. But what happens when we get tired or fighting? We DO get tired of fighting, trust me! We all have those days that we just want to stop fighting and pray for an easy day or easy task or easy life. Who will fight for us then? Would there even be a fight if we were to all give up? I could swear that there are days that I do not have any fight left in me. Then I notice who is watching. Would I want my kids to see that I slacked off on them? Absolutely, NOT!

And this is the reason why I blog, I journal, I listen to music, I write things down, I meditate, etc. Yes, S*** happens but we can ONLY control what we can.  I fight, until. I will help, until. I will continue to move forward, until. Meaning, it never stops, UNTIL!
