Existence is sometimes the only thing you can control. Not how you exist. Not what gets in your way. Not how you feel or how you fear, but focusing on existing no matter what.
Existence is resistance on it's own.
Existing proudly, loudly, in bed, outside, in hospitals, in the streets, not letting anyone forget.
These songs help me exist.
