🍂 🍂 🍂 Giving up has always been an option in my book. It was always the way out. I could have quit, dropped dead and given in to my own defeat. But I'm here. One of the worst feelings that will ever overtake you is incompetence. Feeling worthless has caused me many years of self-loathing and misguided bitterness. How can I be loved? What good could ever come to me? It's self-pitying and sounds like whining I'm sure but this is the face of depression. So when people point out your sadness and say "be happy it's simple!" it's insulting and it isn't easy. It has nothing to do with privilege, social status or anything else - people who are sad have every right to be. But I'm telling you, don't give in to it. There could be all sorts of things imperfect about you and trust me - there are in all of us - but it's not definitive of your character. Your will to continue is what makes you. Do not give up. It gets harder and some days are wonderful, but you are not defined by either circumstance. Struggle builds our character. Keep going. thanks to Ch.
