Life is an athletic cup full of struggles and the victory comes with a cup full of satisfaction.

To reach a
dream, we need a path. To have a path, we need to desire. What do we crave to do? Wrong choices and
decisions will scratch the tower of dreamland but in the end, we see their purposes, we savor how great
our challenges were and grabs a hand full of memory of it. Tears and sweat will taste bittersweet and
smiles will be the trophies. Are you willing to finish the cup full of hardships? To sip a tea, we need a
straw and to use the straw we need a hole. Where do we place it? Life is full of choices and only one
decision matters. What do we choose to live? I chose not to be a coward. I chose to fight back. All my
life, I was never on my comfort zone. I always try to find something new and wants a level up. I seek
adventures and hardship. I have fantasies to reimagine. I have a dream. "Your father is like this.", "You
should be like this.", "Act like this." Thousands of expectations and comparisons pressures me as I head
on. They were daggers piercing through me. I was plain and never highlighted. A water without a flavor
that sets the vibe and creates the mood. I tried to please everyone with what they want but I was no
one's doppelganger! We are created with different style and uniqueness. Everyone was molded with
originality. I have my own flavor. On my way to victory, I met add-ons. They are hard to collect and gain
with all the ice which barricades my straw but they are clapping and cheering for me! Complements and
admiration. These keeps me fly higher and dive deeper. Merely bonuses of life, tough to get one but
satisfying as the tongue has it. Intense but worth it. My last steps linger to everyone's ears as I take my
trophy. Smiles are drawn on their faces and bliss can be felt delivered by warm hearts. Tears of joy are
being restrained and flashbacks of memories are enveloping my mind. Fights and waiting are finally
getting paid off. I won the Life Cup! I have figured out that to win cup, we need to fight. To call it life, we
need suffering and to enjoy a cup of milk tea, we need ice. Therefore, without hardship, we won't be
appreciating how great the taste of life is. Life needs ice to melt. Milk tea is life.
