2.5 yrs today - Never Give Up


Crazy how our subconscious works. I wasn’t even thinking of this day when I woke up and got ready for work this morning. But this is what I chose to wear. Never give up. I’ve repeated this to myself over and over the last few years.

When I’m struggling at juggling pulling 60 hr work weeks and being a single parent. Never give up.

When the house is sick including myself, but I still have to clock in. Never give up.

When I’m feeling lonely and unloved because I’ve set healthy boundaries and higher standards for myself. Never give up.

When the bills are more than what I can bring in at the moment. Never give up.

When the car starts making funny noises and dash lights pop on. Never give up.

When the kid starts skipping classes and lying. Never give up.

When I’m feeling overwhelmed because I’ve overextended myself. Never give up.

When I think the world is against me because I fear that’s what I deserve. Never give up.

All of these things are only temporary. The fact I’m still here to write this today is proof of this!

I will never give up at designing the life I want to live. A life I don’t have to escape from.
