Fig Newton

Hello. This is Anthony. You can call me either Fig, Anth or Guy (long story). Basically, this is my profile for writing (of course) and honestly, I'm starting to like it. I hope to see more brilliant writers on this fantastic site.

War.

Man vs. Man. Man vs. World. Man vs. Self.

War is based on these conflicts. Not just the guns or combat moves that you see on TV and video games, but within our inner being. It’s something that we either fight against or fight for.

I’ve fought my war for many years. Dealing with stress for the past 3 years.

School.

Lost of employment.

Family.

Lack of self.

It hurts but there’s nothing better in the world to make the best things out of yourself, finding a great place to live, living the dream you wanted, being with the person you liked for a long time, making the people you love proud. But I haven’t done either of those…..

…but I haven’t given up either. In my heart, the war still goes on.

I’m in a difficult stage in my life right now. I’m going through a lot but it’s a stage I would eventually run into.

The war within me pulls me under…but not for long.

Nana, you don’t have to be strong for me anymore. It’s my turn now…
