My Fight/Your Fight by Ronda Rousey

Currently on pg. 169

On page 115, Rousey shares a story one of her ex-boyfriends told her. It is a great illustrations of the chapter's title "Everything is as Easy as a Decision." I can find parallels in some of her relationships and some of the relationships I have witnessed in my life. At this point in the book, she is just starting to train to compete in the MMA. Even though, I know how it turns out; I so want her to be successful. But more than that, I want her to find happiness.

My eldest daughter took a college class on the works of Hans Christian Andersen. This was her textbook. So far, I have read The Tinderbox, The Princess on the Pea, and The Traveling Companion. Of those three tales, I liked The Traveling Companion best. I found The Tinderbox too dark for my taste and The Princess on the Pea disappointing. However, The Traveling Companion has a happily ever after ending.
