Giving up isn’t an option for many
Give up if you can’t do it. It is the easiest thing to do if you ask me cause I’m someone who gives up on certain things without a second thought. Most of the time, I don’t care whether the efforts will give me a chance to grow or to fall but there is a feeling of burnout that makes me give up easily on something I have been working on for years or months.
Sometimes the soft echo of effort pulls me in to start again but at the time the emotional burnout kills me slowly from inside. I know once I get that feeling I can never turn back. I drop out of the works without any second thoughts because sometimes all I need is me. The peace that I have been craving since my childhood.
But something stills the moment I’m forced to work hard. And then I stand infront of a podium to finish whatever I started because I can’t run away when hundreds of eyes are watching my activities. I know that moment is something I can’t give up like I can’t disappoint myself. I have to stand for myself eventhough I have no one to clap for me or embrace me but I have to do it anyways.
That’s the moment the thought creeps in, “Giving up isn’t an option”
You can’t do that even when you want to cause you know there isn’t a hand to hold you or embrace you or a person to cheer on you. In the end it’s just you and your shadow that’s walking…
