Why Give Up ?

    GIVING UP.


  • surrendering.
  • raising the white flag.
  • raising both arms above head.

          Those 2 words. They leave a bitter taste on my tongue. They make me flashback to the 'Dark Era' I've been through. Full of bullshit. 

         Why do we have resolutions ? Why do we have goals ? Why do we have ambitions ? Why do we dream ? Why do we have hope on waking up tomorrow ?

Answer: We plan NOT to give up. We decide to give it a shot despite the risks ahead. 

         The only thing that is far too valueble for us NOT to give up, is our own lives. Frankly, even the that thought, that particular thought of giving up on ourselves and giving up on our lives is becoming an unhealthy trend. 

         Promises and Giving Up. It's like burning a candle at both ends. To expand energy in two directions, simultaneously. Initially, it's the promise that we make. It could be a small pinky promise or it could be a life vow. A promise, stays a promise. They say promises are meant to be broken. Not necessarily. If that will is strong enough and there's not even that thought of giving up, promises can be actually fulfilled. That of course, is a once in a blue moon type of thing. 

         Nevertheless, its that constant reminder and repetition that wears us out. We probably tend to wear out because we can't handle the same thing again and again. Imagine eating oatmeal from breakfast, lunch, tea time, dinner and supper! We eventually grow tired and even sick to the gut. However, God gave us, each a brilliant gift.

                                                            A BLOODY BRAIN. 

       We don't have to be systematical or mathematical. We don't need a schedule, we don't need a routine. We paint our own canvas with neon, pastel and patterns. We decorate our life. Just because a promise has 1 meaning, it does not mean we can't have various ways to fulfill them. Some prefer to keep a promise when the time comes, others prefer to prove it day by day.  

       Picture this, you spend your entire life digging the earth for treasure, gold and gems. Just when you're about to dig that final barrier, you give up. You were 1 last step away from retrieving the treasure and because of that 'I'm exhausted' attitude, you've given up on life's biggest achievements. So, say hi to stranger, you never what he or she would contribute in your life. Try again tomorrow if today wasn't much of a good day. Know that, the good and the bad brings us all forward.

      Look in the mirror, ask yourself, is it worth to give up ? Because you're being a pussy ? If you're not willing to give up your life, don't give up on people, don't give up on dreams and at most essential, don't give up on that reflection staring back at you. That person's by all means God's masterpiece.
