“Just... isn't giving up allowed sometimes? Isn't it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?”

“and there were times when i felt lost,
but that did not stop me,
for the further i went ,
the more i collected myself
as i walked away
and the more i walked away
the closer i got it to all,,,
and in the end, i became the journey,
and like all journeys,
i did not end, i just
changed my directions.”
