giving up
"Giving up is like a warm blanket. So tempting to give in, call it a day, admit defeat. Put it off for another day, another trip... Far more difficult to step into the fray again, to push a little farther"
"But then giving up is like rotting inside a dungeon while trying to keep going is like struggling to walk past a storm. So it's like, "Okay, life sucks, I give up...let's suck together!" or, "Okay, life sucks, f*ck it, I don't wanna get stuck in this forever, here's what I can do about it...""
