Don't give up!

Ever feel like giving up? Thoughts running through your head saying, “Life is just too hard...I’m not perfect enough for this world...I’m just going to let go...” Well, I’m here to tell you NOT to give up.

What: It’s natural to feel discouraged. In fact, I have never met anyone in my life who has not at one time felt like giving up or giving in. Life will have its ups and downs, but imagine life without its pits. It would be boring. Terribly boring to be exact.

When: The feeling of discourage often occurs after a disappointment. (Ex. Failing a test, not getting promoted at your job, auditioning for something and not getting in). However, being discouraged can occur at anytime, and it doesn’t always have to follow a disappointing event.

Where: Wherever. Your house, a friend’s car, a coffee shop, a park...Sometimes it just seems like the whole world is closing in on you, and this feeling can arise wherever you are.

Who: You. The one who is reading this. This rambling writing is for you.

Why: Because sometimes people just need to understand that giving up is not an option. We all fall apart occasionally, but we should always try harder not to. “It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.”

Bam.

Inspiration. Hope.  Faith. I’ve lost so much of all these things lately. Inspiration hasn’t hit me in a while. I haven’t seen something that’s caught me eye and wants me to make myself a better person, or to try something different. Hope is something that I’ve struggled with off and on throughout my years, and I did at one time promise myself that I would never lose it ever again. Yet here we are, and there’s still a major lack of it. Faith in myself and faith in the people that surround me. Where is it hiding? I can’t find my faith. But suddenly it hits me as I walk outside and feel the warmth. The sun! The sun is my inspiration. It’s always there, even when the dark clouds attempt to block it out. It always keeps on shining. But the sun is not only my inspiration; it is also my hope and faith. I feel a light start to flicker in me. I know have inspiration, hope, and faith. I have hope that there will be better days and I can achieve my goals if I work hard. I have faith that there’s someone always going to be there for me.
