Giving up?

[MrDawn]

Do you ever just give up on something?

You try and you try...and you try some more until you feel that its become very pointless to you eventually that not only have you given up, you get over it and just get past it eventually?

Some great examples especially from my experience is either trying to be friends or go out with a girl and you just keep getting rejected. Or...how about that promotion at work that you've tried to get and it just doesn't happen?

I used to want to give up on life. Even tried. Things do get better though. No matter what you wan to give up things do get better.

There are many times in my life, as of late, that I want to give up. I just keep telling myself that I've got a beautiful family of my own and all the struggles, pain, and disappointment will eventually pass. Then, my life will be grand.

Yeah, I have had many a time where I just wanted to give up. Sad really, but it is natural to want to give up, and not do something anymore, or just see if you can redo things over again.

I'm sure everyone has felt like this at some point. The greatest feeling though is when you FINALLY get something done that's been so difficult. Of course there are some things that are better off letting go than holding on to.

I gave up on life in late 2004. Does that count?
