You have to decide to fight instead of submit. It can be against the forces out there that are frozen in distress and oppression, it can be against what happened to you, and it can simply be against being less than yourself. There are lots of different fronts to fight on, but all of them involve going against the discouragement that says that you have to live out the rest of your life in defeat, that makes you figure out how to go quiet and survive instead of trying to actually live and do what you have wanted to do. It can't be quiet. It can't be small. You can be getting larger and louder in many different ways.
