Chapter 26
There isn't room in my back for anymore knives. If you're going to stab me, you're gonna have to look me in the eyes when you do it.
Sneaky deceits, backstabbing, behind plotting, scheming, I'm tired of that. I'm tired of those kinds of personas. I don't want to deal with snarky comments from people who's full of themselves, full of shits, and most especially I am so done with assholes and their dramas.
It's funny how I hated that and I still got played. Someone messed with my feelings. Someone toyed with the emotions I have. And just because I showed that I have the likeness, I showed up good—they must've received it the wrong way. That doesn't mean I when I stared at you with gentleness it will remain forever. When I said I like you, it doesn't mean I'll get stucked with you forever. It doesn't work that way, and I think he might've really take it the wrong way.
I don't someone who's trying to see me as his competition instead of his equal. I've reminded myself with that. But I think he didn't even remind himself in that kind of thinking.
It sucks. When the one person you loved laughed at the misfortune you've went through, and instead of helping you he partake with it and tried to keep you down.
When he did betrayed me, I knew the looked on his face. His expression full of triumph, he was happy, he felt like this was his long awaited victory from all of those scheming he planned behind my back without my knowing.
Are you happy now? Have you gained your satisfaction now? Or is it still lacking? You will never be satisfied with it. You're craving to win, and yet you failed. What's the point of winning, if you cheated your way through it? It's better to lose with grace, to accept the defeat than win using the tactics of literally stabbing someone without that person's knowledge. You've won, but what cost?
It wasn't a fair fight and if you think the gods of war is on your side—it's sad and I pity you for it. I really do. And I really regret liking you, I should've run when I see the signs. Your shallowness is a petty problem. And I don't know if you'll ever change your ways. But I'm glad I left. I'm glad I choose him instead of you. Because now, in never regret mlthe decision I made. I loved it!
They say when you can fight, you have too. But what if the fight has some hidden agendas hiding on the corner? What if your opponent will go behind you back, sneak in, and stabbed you while you're not alert?
Only weak people go behind someone's back. I found them weak. If you wanted to fight and eradicate your opponent, and still have your dignity knowing that you fight good, then go ahead and face the person in the face. Shoot with anything you have, just let your opponent see your attacks. Never go behind someone's back. It will not always turn out good than what you've expected. It didn't turn out well for him. I guess it's really true afterall.
My brother was warrior. When he got betrayed by the person he trusted the most, he got his way back. But he went the other way, because he knew there's no other way out of the situation than to walk away.
Some say it's for the weak. But for me it's one of those bold thing you can do. You've already fought and you're losing your momentum and if one felt to let go because the fight brought more harm than good, one should definitely let go and stop trying. Just because you didn't win, you're already will be someone who's going to be a loser forever. And just because you won, you're always win.
Life had its share of ups and downs. What comes up must comes down, and what comes down must go up. The wheel is always turning, and you may not see it today—a time will come when the wheels of fate will finally be on your favor.
It's okay to give up, it's okay to lose. What's not okay is you still pushing yourself, being hard on yourself to fight for a person, a dream, a situation where it's harming you. Sometimes the fight has to end, and it has to end with you. You have to decide. And hope that your decision will help you become better.
One-upping someone, I've seen people like these. They're a lot. But what do you do with those people if they come around? You wield your swords too, and protect yourself. You just have too. You have to fight back. You have to plunged back. You just have too. You promised yourself that you'll protect you, right? Then you have to do that, even though wielding the sword scares you. Even though if you feel shaking, even if you're trembling in fear, even if there's a loud thudding of gallops in your heart, do it. Face the oppostion in the eye, and prepare yourself to attack. Do a calculated risk. When you attack, you also have to make sure that it's swift and you'll end if for good. Make sure it doesn't come back around.
Now as we moved. We moved with conviction in our spirit. Never forget your battle scars and how you went through all of those challenges still living, alive, still unscathed of the opposition. During those times when disruptions happened and opposition take place remember what it took you to get where you are today. Remember your power. And do not forget to hone that power again, to create a greater one. It has to be that way. We already struggled too much already, it's time for our victories. It's time for us to win against those opposing forces who's trying to let us down. And it's time for the wheel of fortune to finally smile upon us. I know there isn't more room for knives in our back anymore, we've already received to much stabs.
