Battle Cry

"All of my fears, and all of my doubts are lacing their boots and grabbing their guns, the war is on now."

Battle Cry

One of the toughest battles one will have to fight is the one within themselves. It's a battle hard to describe because everyone experiences their own type of battles in their own way. Some come out winning these battles and others continue losing them, the question is how long can one keep going?

"Battle Cry" is not just the name of this article, but the name of a song from the hit show Empire.

"Battle Cry" is another world within itself. It's not another love song, but a song that talks about real issues within yourself. This is the type of song that you have to read in between the lines in order to understand where it's coming from.

Life is an everyday struggle, not knowing whether you'll rise the next day or not is a scary feeling. In this day and age, life is not so much about going on with your daily lives, but so much more than that, especially when you see someone's inside their head instead of outside. Fear is inside people's brains. There are many things that give us fear, but what if this type of fear doesn't go away? When you go to sleep you have that fear stuck inside your head day and night, you wake up and still have that same fear stuck inside yourself. Then doubt takes over love and it leaves you paralyzed. Not being able to enjoy the most beautiful things in your life, always wondering when it'll all be over or questioning whether it's all real. Deep inside you feel that there is no escape to all this madness and want to just explode and release something. In a battle within yourself, it feels as if you may end up losing the things most precious to you. You find out there what was fake and what was real.

"I will never lose this let whatever come my way, I am stronger than my rival and I will not fall today."

Such motivating words those are, words to draw strength from and words to defeat your inner self, right? For some those words means a lot and can change their entire battle strategy and some become victorious. For others they are just words hitting a brick wall with no effect whatsoever. To understand people with losing battles, you have go in deeper and search.

The war is on now, but the real question is can you end up winning or end up losing yourself?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
