To not give up?
Stand
Rise
Grow
It's been another whirlwind of a year. We've all changed a bit as individuals and in a way it's nice to reflect on how much has been achieved and the memories that have been created. Someday I'd like to look back on these days and accept the joy and pain that came with each day's past, knowing that they made my journey all the more worth it.
Getting back to the topic at hand. It's become human nature in recent years, especially with the younger generation, to needlessly cut-off that which poses a threat to them. Be it relationships, work, responsibilities or anything that seems to be overly difficult or hurtful during that period of their life. In fact, this behaviour is encouraged and almost idolised as people divert their daily challenges on accounts of individuality or 'recognising' their alternative skill sets. True, they quote it as 'a waste of time' to pursue something they feel is worthless further, but does that make it worth giving up?
There has to be a reason why that part of your life existed in the first place right? Better times, success after a day's hard work and the memories you've created are not something you can always cut off and throw away. They stick to you like glue and sometimes, though by no mean do I suggest this the norm, they're worth fighting for.
You'll see it everywhere. People simply abandoning the goals they set themselves. When you build yourself in an idealistic vision, I'd rather fail trying to get their and achieve semi-greatness than to simply give up and wonder "what if?".
For a while now I've been trying to think of how best to describe at what stage I'm right now in my life. There was a time when I thought simply cutting away that and those who hurt you would make you a stronger individual. Perhaps, haha I was wrong. I know now that it's not how capable you are of recognising a lost cause and letting it go but also about how much of an effort you put into saving something that you once cared about. It's always going to be a struggle to try and fix what won't but you'd be surprised by how much you can learn through that struggle.
Not sure why this might be of importance to you, or anybody who's reading this. I created this as a platform to think and yet I find myself drawing on it more as a timeline, capturing the various elements that made up my life. It must be nice though, to have something to remember.
Strange. I actually stayed on topic this time. Oh I'd you guys to meet Tim. He's the one in dark blue.
