SELF-LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY 2024

Song: Fighter

Artist: Tom MacDonald 

HAPPY SELF-LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY TO MUAH!! 😊💪🥊💗

I had hoped to have changed enough from last Valentine's Day to now to be in a relationship or at the very least be going on a date....that clearly didn't happen. I'm pretty much exactly "in the same place, running in the same race same pace." It's disappointing and believe me, I could go on a miles long rant about it. But I'm not going to. I'm going to just accept it and move forward in a spirit of "let's this try again!"

Today, I'm going to focus on improving myself. Loving myself. 💗 Accepting myself and believing in myself. That's what this song is about. I loved and related to the message and decided that it's going to be my "self-love song" dedicated to ME this Valentine's Day! 💪💗 Let's keep fighting for another day and another year! 🥊 I deserve this! 

Bottom of the ninth, up against the odds

Runnin' out of time, only got one shot

When it's really do-or-die, when your back's against the wall

When you fightin' for your life, do you believe in you or not?

I'm a believer, I believe

I'm a believer, I believe

Second-guessin' every breath, I'm full of questions

Past is full of cigarettes, alcohol and depression

Therapists and all the different pills can get expensive

All this bottled up aggression, I'm too old to get arrested

Almost died tryna get here, got high through my best years

Got sober, then I relapsed, then I cleaned up, got my head clear

Sometimes it feels like there ain't shit to believe in

But I believe that we're all here for a reason, yeah

You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are

And you are a liar if you say you aren't

You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are

And I think you're perfect the way that you are

Tired from the pressure I put on myself for years

Tired from my twenties, the whiskey bottles and beers

Tired of smilin' while I've been holdin' back tears

But I believe I can do it, so I'm here

I'm a believer, I believe

I'm a believer, I believe

I've been told I have a death wish, no one's interested

Cold and too aggressive, close to hypertension

I'm broken from the pressure, explosive with my temper

I'm sober, but I'm stressin' and hopin' it gets better

Am I fallin' off? Should I give it up or put it all on pause?

Let go of this dream so I can visit home and talk to Mom?

Maybe all I need's another Instagram post

With a quote about believin' in yourself when you're low

You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are

And you are a liar if you say you aren't

You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are

And I think you're perfect the way that you are

Maybe I'm weaker, and I know I've lost before

But I'm a believer, nothin' is impossible

I'm a believer, I believe

I'm a believer, I believe

You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are

And you are a liar if you say you aren't

You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are

And I think you're perfect the way that you are
