Never Give Up

What does it actually mean when someone says “never give up”? There are days we all want to roll over and die for one reason or another but is that really giving up? Or is it just giving in? I prefer to think of it as “giving into the moment”. Some days we roll out of the sheets with a piss poor attitude and nothing or no one can make it better. We would rather crawl in a dark space with a Hershey bar while listening to the soothing sounds of Death Metal blaring through our iPods. Why shouldn’t we be allowed to “give in” once in a while? It’s not really giving up.

Somedays I have to just take a step back and reevaluate a situation, that doesn’t mean in giving up on the end result of said circumstance, it just means I need more time to think something over. So I guess the moral here, if there even is one, is that as human beings we can’t pretend to be superheroes. We are made from flesh and bone. We don’t have super powers that make us stronger than we are supposed to be. We are just…normal.

Next time you hear someone tell you “hey, never give up”, look that person in the eyes and say “I’m not giving up, I’m giving in…for now”.
