I guess around 6AM is the best way to write something, it's quiet, everyone's asleep. Your mind is at peace and you can work something or solve something out. You don't have to consume alcohol to forget, just take a look at the stars and you see yourself breathing again.
Everyone can be a tad proud of themselves, we made it this far. Claim a prize. It's like seconds after we leave high school, it's like the sound of a gun booming the sky in a marathon. Everyone is running, chasing each other, it's a race against the better future. But it's not us that we against but them. We are not running because we wanted to be the first among us, well some of us might feel that way but it's not. A first place in life against your friends doesn't make you king. It's all about winning against the future, against life.
Picture yourself as a wrestler, standing proud in the ring, the crowds cheer for you. Then your opponent appears, imagine life as a tall, muscular man. A fist from that guy will blow you down, he finally pin you to the ground.
In the rules of wrestling, you tap your hand to give up, to say that you can't take this anymore. But not in life, you don't tap your hand.
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. "
