Feel free to enjoy the soulful vocal stylings of the fabulous Ms. Christina Aguilera. Yes, I know “Fighter” is about a man who did her wrong, but I think it also speaks to those of us living day to day with Inflammatory Bowel disease, or any chronic illness warriors. I have lots of other songs that could go in this category playing in my head. Must make a Crohnie mix tape for y’all! (For all the kids out there I hyperlinked the words “mix tape” to a Wiki page that can explain to you what they are and how rad and awesome they were.)
After all that you put me through,
You think I’d despise you,
But in the end I wanna thank you,
‘Cause you’ve made me that much stronger
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Keep fighting IBDers!
