Don't Give Up · 1:44pm May 8th, 2018
Life's going to reach those points where things are going to seem bleak and pointless, your mind's going to delve into dark territory and you're going to start thinking about what all you've done and if it's worth anything... if your life is worth anything. Emotions take control, what little you've done might be targeted and you'll end up feeling like everything you've done, no matter how small, doesn't make your life worth it...
Worth living.
I know how life can get, but not to a great extent like some do who deal with major shit. So I can't even begin to express how little I know or even think like that to figure out how to help, not without just playing cards that no one wants played.
Life can suck... it can get bad at times, maybe even make things seem completely pointless. But it's different for other people, but they all tend to come to the same conclusion...
End it all.
I know it's been said... it's always been said and it gets sickening to hear, even annoying... but I got a saying; never give up, never give in, never back down, and never surrender. Why those four? They all go for different things... and they've helped me a bit throughout my short short life.
An example of how I use it being; never give up on your friends, never give in to the darkness, never back down from the challenge, and never surrender the fight.
The point is, even if life seems pointless or just... not worth it, it is worth it, because there is so much you can do with your life even if you don't think so, so much. But sadly it isn't that simple, it never is... nothing is, you gotta work for it, and ultimately what you do with your life is your choice.
But... try and find it, that thing that makes you see that life is worth living...
Honestly, if I didn't have what I have now, I... truthfully, I wouldn't be here... I wouldn't be anywhere, is the harsh truth. But I found 'it' a while ago and I know what makes life worth living, but it's not the same for everyone and it's up to you to find that key to unlock that door, and sometimes it'll be painful and aggravating, maybe even making things worse... but once you find it everything will come to light.
You just have to believe in yourself and push on, life is a dark road and sometimes you gotta go it alone, but you'll never be alone forever... there'll be someone who'll break through to pull you out and carry you if they have to.
So... don't give up, and if you don't want to do that for me or anyone else...
Then do it for yourself.
I hope this... helps someone somehow, I don't know who and I don't care, but I just needed to get it out, for now I bid you farewell.
This has been your friendly neighborhood Dustchu, and I'll see you next time.
Friends help. Make friends. Seriously, some nagging assholes kept me from the edge and I'm wholeheartedly grateful for them. Make friends.
Indeed, never give up fast.
That was pretty deep but thoughtful as the past 2 years ive been struggling myself and to hear something very motivational like that healps "Thank You"
You made my day!
Thank you 👍
I agree.
not too long ago, after, struggling with self-loathing for a long time, i found something to give my life meaning.
i realized that the people around me, no matter how low my opinion of myself was, are all my lesser. that no matter my myriad of faults, other people will still find new and incredible ways to disappoint me.
so i brought myself out of self-loathing by applying the standards i apply to myself on the people around me.
"in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king" after all.
Excellent post!
That's a resounding post of motivation. I found a new lease on life yesterday when someone decided to carry me out of despair out of love. Now I've got more motivation than before to work for it, to bite the bullet however much to move forward.
When I read the words 'never back down' this song came to mind:
You okay, man?
sandwiches
Do what you love
Love what you do
If you stay true
The sun shall shine through

Thank you.
