Five months ago I decided it was enough
Enough of feeling helpless and vulnerable
Enough of being the one who's always afraid
Enough of being scared of walking by myself late at night
Enough of being the one who gets punched in the face by an ex with anger issues
Enough of being the one who gets hurt by drunk customers
Enough on counting on someone else to protect me
Enough of being weak
Five months ago I decided it was time to learn how to fight back
And now five months have passed
Five months of pain and exhaustion
Five months of getting my ass kicked every week by a sensei who always sees my potential and demands for more
Five months of pushing myself and shattering my own limits
Months that will definitely turn into years, because I'm not ready to give up on something that makes me this happy
So I'm leaving this as little reminder to my future self, maybe 5 years from now I'll come back to this little text and feel as proud as I feel today
