Come out Swinging by The OffspringAside from KoRn, Rob/White Zombie, the Cure and Depeche Mode, The Offspring was a huge part of my childhood musical collection. My father bought me Americana when it released because I said I liked them so much, and I loved the album to death.
So anyway, the reason I chose this song... Lately, it feels like all of my battles are being fought alone. There's nobody really standing firm in my corner and nobody really telling me they have the utmost confidence in my ability to succeed. I'm absolutely certain there are, like Zaelis, my Grandmother and my Father, but even still. At work, I am constantly frustrated, because no matter what I do, I never seem to work "fast enough," and I often feel like the only reason I'm kept around is because people enjoy having me around.
But no matter how often I doubt my success at work, no matter how much I scold myself for some failures, no matter how often life throws me a curveball... I bat that curveball to the moon, scoff at my own scolding and go right back to saying "this is just one job, why feel insignificant for it?" I have this way of always inspiring myself, and always learning from my failures without feeling overly despondent for having failed to begin with. I mean, everybody has self doubt, and everybody has low points in their life. My life has been full of horrid events, but now I've proven so many people wrong and gotten through more than many imagine. I know what I can do, and I know that I can make it.
Even if it may feel like I'm all alone sometimes, I have to remember I still have one person around who cares: myself. I'm not about to give up on myself, as I have never lost hope for anyone, so why give up on the person who never has?
