Give Up... Give in... or Give It Your All

In life, we have three choices. Given a choice too hard to overcome, or we simply don’t want to put the effort, we give up. Usually, there will be an event in which we don’t necessarily give up, but we collapse, we give in to the event, not staying strong. Then, there are those miracles in which we not only overcome that event or issue, but we gain it’s strength. This is when we give it our all. 

Everyday is a choice. We can die, or we can survive, we make that choice. We look at the positive, and the negative. We then decide if we’d rather fight for the positive, or loom over the negative. We fight for ourselves, for others, or us with someone. It’s hard looking at the positive, telling yourself everything will be ok, that nothing will go wrong, it’s difficult. It’s easy telling yourself nothing will be right, everything will be ruined, that way, you don’t fall down from your own hope. This is the problem. People focus too much on what they could lose, rather than what they keep. They would rather see everything go wrong, that way, they could be right. Instead of seeing everything go right, and possibly being wrong. This isn’t the way we’re suppose to think. It’s your life. You choose what you want. You know what you want and why you want it, no one else.

Why bring yourself down for a reason that doesn’t exist yet? Why hurt yourself by depriving yourself of hope and love? We all can do it. You just have to believe in yourself. At the beginning, I didn’t have much hope. I thought that if I didn't hope enough, I wouldn't get hurt. I told myself that if I kept my feelings from fully developing, I would be ok. In the end, all I regretted was not taking that chance. It’s easy making a mistake and fixing it. You did something wrong, you regret about it, and you try fixing what you did. But it isn’t that easy all the time. How about the things you can’t fix? How can you fix something that never happened? What if you’re the one who regrets not making it happen? What then? You can’t go back and fix it, because nothing is there. You didn’t want to get hurt, so you ignored what could happen. You let it pass you by as if you would never look back upon it again. Now, here you are, wishing you made that difference. And it’s too late, you’ll feel that regret for a very long time, if not forever. 

Don’t give in, and don’t give up. You want that relationship to last, then make it last. Because what happens once you end it, and you found out all you had to do was one thing, say one thing, and it would still exist? Go back? You can, but it will be hard rebuilding that trust and faith. Don’t make that mistake, in any case at all. 

Keep dreaming. Dream all day, everyday. Hope as long as you want. Wish on anything and anyone. No one can take that away from you, only you can. 

Feel happy. Feel confident. If you can’t feel confident in yourself, take shelter in another person you love and care for. 

This is what us dreamers have to remember. The dream only ends when we wake up, and it only appears when we want to dream. 

Look at what you have. Just take some time and think about what you have. Think how you got there, and think how long it took. Remember all the sacrifices you had to make, all the fears you had to shut off, all the tears you killed by making it appear. You got to where you are, and you have what you have, because you got yourself there. You made the time to get there. You felt all those emotions. You smiled, and you cried. 

You have something special, something no one else will ever have as you. It’s one, and only one. You can’t duplicate what you have. Think about this, all of it. How happy it makes you feel. Be careful though, because you could lose it all. One word could ruin it. One simple action could tear what you built from your heart. All of it, gone to waste. What once made you smile, what once made you wake up smiling, what once made you dream, is now all but a memory. You only tore it apart because you torn yourself apart with it. Without you, it’s nothing. And without it, you’re nothing. It can be something special, or someone special. Either way, you had that special connection, a connection no one else will ever share with you or them, or it. A connection you broke because you didn’t think it through, a broken chain because you didn’t want to hold on anymore, and you let it break. What takes forever to build, may only take one second to destroy. Please, don’t make that mistake. Realize what you have, how you got a hold of it, and most importantly, why you’re still holding on.

The reason why you hold on now should never disappear. Remember, whatever, or whoever is holding on the other end doesn’t want to let go just like you.

Don’t let go.
