      @sabonas21 I too am in my 60s. My younger son told me about Tom during Trump's presidency. At first I couldn't look at him. Just listened to the words. I've never been a fan of tatoos and piercings. I'm hyper empathetic especially to pain. So it pained me to see them. I have found that these things make Tom, Tom! His message is so good and REAL! This song has touched my heart. And as someone said, it's just not long enough.

I've been sick for over a month, daily, got too sick to work and quit my job. I found out it's a gallstone, a few days ago. I bought myself a ring last week for my 55th birthday, that symbolizes believing in myself to get through this!!! Thank you for this moving song. It's my anthem right now!

Luckily I found the fighter in me. I live every day with a positive mindset because the alternative is a very dark place. Thank you so much for the gift of this song. Anytime I need a little reminder I will be turning to this song. Amazing job Tom and Nova! #HOG4ever!!

    I wouldn't normally say personal stuff on the internet to a bunch of strangers. But my mum, passed away two years ago yesterday when I woke up to Tom's new song. I've fought personal battles with depression, suicide, alcohol, daily life struggles, and trying to be the strong respectable person. But watching this was like listening to my mom still cheering me on to keep going and saying all the things she used to tell me. I used to brush it off and say "I know mom" but I really needed the push and the self respect boost. This one will be played on repeat for awhile and brought back whenever I needed that help from mom and that swift kick in the rear she used to give me when I didn't think i needed it, so thanks Tom. And anyone who reads all this ramble thanks.

    This song came out the month and year I was escaping my abuser, he beat me 10-9-2022 I had to wait until Thanksgiving to leave him it was the only way I could leave to see my family even though I begged him to come with me I'm glad he didn't he stole from me took everything I had and destroyed it this song came out when the week before I left him last year, I listen to it almost daily now and ball my eyes out every time, he told me my prayers by don't work but I pray every time I play this song and all I can do is cry and break down because I know this song is my prayer and God heard me. Thank you Divine for making such a beautiful soul who truly knows the fight for life is real. I wouldn't be alive if I didn't have a fighting spirit to know such love is real. Thank you!! Thank you!

Music has always been our way of communicating with each other. When we didn't have the words to express our feelings. So this song does that for my boy. And helped heal his mama's heart. So a heart felt ty from a mom

    I survived a terrible traffic accident at 18, it was a wonder I even survived. In 2016, I still took tramadol daily to be able to live with the pain and doctors concluded further recovery was impossible, and I would stay 15% disabled in my upper body.
    I couldn't accept this fate at such a young age, I refused to live as a disabled person dependent on pain medication. I started training, revalidating, using every bit of info I could find. I perfected my diet.
    It is now 2023 and I am 99% fully recovered.

I can never thank you enough for helping them to see they can and will always be fighters. You spoke to them more than I ever could. You may never see this message but for all who rebuild their lives, you are never alone. Reach out, be that fighter you are loved by people you haven't even met yet.

      I struggle with depression too so I get where he’s coming from, and I used to be an alcoholic. Trauma works in ways we’d never know at least not without a therapist or something. The thing with me, I cry on the inside, not outside, when I do cry on the outside it’s at complete random I believe I have BPD, this is on par with scars, scars hit hard too because I believe it related to self harm aswell, which is a bigger issue than people might think. Though we may not always feel like it or feel worth it, we should definitely let the words he speaks sink in, I tell other people these same things that they’re worth it and a fighter even when I feel worthless and give up, but they feel worthless too and give up, but when they look at me, I’m worth it and not as weak as I feel, I guess looking at others with some relatable issues is like a mirror, you can know you’re worth it even when feeling worthless.

    My daughter should have been born 1/10/24. Instead she came too early for the hospital to care. I am working toward getting to the positivity in this song. Not quite there yet but I am so thankful for this message. Bless!❤

    Hey Tom, just wanted to let you know I was one of the haters/naysayers who dismissed you for a long long time, but you turned me into a fan in the last few months to the extent that I'm buying your songs, commenting & liking just to show some love. Much respect for making it not only without a label but also against all the haters you have in the charts/music industry.
    Keep the bangers coming!

    I knew God was real when I was 15. My mom flipped a convertible cavalier due to having a random seizure. I was at a friends, this was before cell phones, but when I got home my mom & dad weren’t there but the whole neighborhood was in my house waiting on me. My grandma had to demand the first aid station in our town get the helicopter & get her to another city with a great hospital. They said she’d never make it but thankfully my grandma was hell on wheels! When I got to the 2nd hospital they put me in a tiny room full of supplies and my dad kept his head between his hands and all he could say was I’m so sorry. He’s a veterinarian. She flipped the car and she hit the pavement and the car landed on her. Thankfully she was in the back seat. They had gone to pick up his bronco from the mechanic and were only 3 miles from our house. If it weren’t for him she wouldn’t have made it. She was drowning in her own blood. He knew how to ram his hand down her airway and keep it open so she could get air in. 4 lanky young teenage boys saw what happened and ran out to the car. It took a few tries but those skinny boys managed to lift that car off of her and on to its side so my dad could help her more. While I was hugging my dad and telling him it’s going to be ok I noticed he was covered in her blood. The doctor came in looked at the floor and told me at age 15 and my little sister who was 12 he was sorry but our mom wouldn’t make it thru the night. I know I looked like a deer in headlights. I just sat there in shock with no emotion. My sister ran to my grandma. My dad walked out to give me a minute. My dad was actually my stepdad but the only dad I claim. I knew in that moment if my mom didn’t make it I would be forced to live with my bipolar stepmom who hates me and my sperm donor who gladly traded me off for a perfect daughter in my stepsister. It would be a living hell! But also, my mom was my best friend! I just put my head in my hands and prayed the hardest I’ve ever prayed. I told God if he’d let me keep her I didn’t care what shape she was in I’d take care of her and never complain. Just don’t take her! She spent 73 days in that hosp. The flight crew made her a scrapbook & they told her she was their miracle! No one but me thought she had a chance. They just didn’t know it wasn’t in God’s plan for her to die then. I’m now 47 and she’s just turned 70 this year! She has to use a walker & has some health problems but her mind is sharp! God knew I needed her. I fed her, had to wipe her, bathe her, etc. till she learned to use her muscles and work around the nerve damage done but she was even back driving after 1 year. She’s a quiet sweet lady that has the soul of a true fighter!

      PTSD is terrible. I’ve got it too but from childhood. You have to forgive everyone including yourself first. Truly forgive and bury yesterday. Literally. Then and only then, will you come out the other side. I wrote everything about my past and burned it and buried the ashes. Then God came in and cleared up the tears. I didn’t know if I believed but OH WOW! He exists. Read the Bible. All your answers are in there! God bless you!!

    This song made me cry. Someone who has taught herself how to survive since she was four because her parents did the bare minimum. Someone who is fighting PTSD everyday because she was abused in every possible way and finally had the courage to tell someone only to be abused by “help.” Decided to give her only parent a chance, her mother died when she was nine, to only be kicked out a year later. She might have a job and a home now, but she has fears, ideations, and paranoia for the rest of her life….this song means the absolute world to me. Thank you so much and I have been listening to your music since I was 16 (19 in a month). It helps me form my own opinions and not be scared to have them even if I don’t always agree with your opinion, but I still love your music 😊
