“Never fight for a place in a person's life. If it’s right then they will keep a place open in their life.”

-Brandon Martinez

Reflection: This quote is very important to me because this is something that i have struggled with because in my life or in my generation everything is about fitting in and trying to be like others and that is what i have been trying to do for so long. Then i had realized that's it's not all about fitting in with others it's about doing what's right for yourself. If people see you they could have a spot for you in their life because you’re being yourself and they respect that. Also if you keep fighting and fighting to be in someone’s life that’s what they want you to do but you need to stop and let them open a spot for you in their life. If they never open a spot for you in their life then they are not worth it for you to be stressed out about them. It’s gonna be their loss if they don’t accept you for who you are. In this quote i know that people might take it as a physical fight to be in someone’s life. However it’s actually an emotional and mental fight with yourself and the person you want to be involved with whether its for a friendship or a relationship. You can’t put yourself in a position where you are stressing out or hurting about the person. If you are then you need to get out of there and fight your way out even if you lose many “important” things.
