How can you survive, when everyone tells you to die? How can you push back, when the world is stronger than you are? How can you keep going, when the only thing you want to do is give up? You fight. You fight as hard as you can. You push until your legs and arms are ready to give out and you push some more. You count the good things that did, can, or would happen. As long as there is hope, as long as you have someone in your corner, as long as you are breathing, you can survive.
