Giving up is never a solution if it is something that is important to you. People give up on things they both care and do not care about. I would think it is ok to give up on things you do not care about but never give up on things you care about. Things may be cloudy or do not make sense right now, but they always do over time. Everything ends up sorted out with no cliffhangers to ruin the mood for you. We all want to have our cake and eat it and for some of us we get to have this happen. Everyone has a skill in at least one thing. They may say they do not but that just means to me they may not know what it is yet. That something that makes others go what was that. What do you do if you can feel people project their insecurities on to you? I have dealt with this from one time to another and it has never felt fun. I have noticed others see something in me at times and it was a mirror of some sort. All I know is I could notice the vibes and they were not upbeat ones. I wanted to think the best in people but now must understand that each person is different and you can figure out a level of trust with each person around you. Feeling replenished from relaxing. Relaxing after having some grinding work can balance everything back out and make you feel good. Just like when you are hungry and get to have the meal you desired. Afterwards, you are the most pleasant person on the planet. Nobody will ever understand the tough things you go through. They may think you did not have to work for everything even, but you will have to be the strong one. Being the strong one is perfect because people will doubt you. People may want you to fall on your face and then what do you do? You could sit there for the rest of eternity. I can support that, or you can get back up and move on to what you need to do. You will get tested all the time and must make decisions for yourself. Some people freeze when making decisions but not me. Now I hear something and that is it. It becomes time to get to work and create something. Remember nobody is living their lives THE RIGHT WAY and nobody knows the right decisions for you. We should go with what feels right even when the easy thing feels wrong. We like easy things, and we like money. Easy money is the living that people want. Remember sometimes the easy thing is not the best thing. The most money does not equal the happiest. Money is tool that helps you achieve things. We can also see money still leads to people facing problems with divorce, addiction, bad investments. Everyone has battles to go through and has certainly felt hurt a time or two. What is the best thing for you?
