As I stand in the gym, surrounded by the stale scent of sweat and determination, my fists collide with the punching bag in a relentless, defensive attack. My main goal was to get M Nibbles’ rejection out of my head.

“I hate you, Darius”

Thud!

“Leave me alone”

Thud! Thud!

Each strike vibrated through my body, sending waves of frustration running through my veins. With every punch, I felt the weight of my anger. I was angry at myself but there was nothing could do about it.

The bag swung wildly, taunting me with its resilience. But I refuse to relent, channeling all my pent-up emotions into each blow. With each strike, I can feel the tension in my muscles increase.

Thud!
