Don't Give Up

Hey yall! Sorry I'm late this week. I got some new things going on that are taking my time and my energy. 

If you are my friend on facebook, you know all about Roommate Guy. For those of you who do not know, Roommate Guy is this guy that I see every few months that always asks me if I still have roommates. Besides being a little creepy, here are 2 interesting facts about him:

• he's from Memphis and has this adorable little accent
• he's actually kinda cute...like a puppy

He's just so creepy. Like why are you always trying to figure out my roommate situation...?

So today I'm choosing to write about not giving up. I think one thing I've realized since branching out on my own is that life is hard. It's not for the weak. It's constantly navigating your way through a never ending series of challenges. After a while it's like fuck this! I've had enough! But life doesn't care that I said that and shit keeps happening. When you work so hard to still not have what you want, it's frustrating. When things don't happen when you want them to happen, it's frustrating. When things beyond your control try and tear you down, it's frustrating. But there are always reasons not to give up. Here are mine:

1. Overcoming challenges feels good. It may be annoying af to keep having to face one challenge after another, but the feeling I get from overcoming a challenge is well worth it. 
2. Giving up seems weak. I get so disappointed in myself even if the thought crosses my mind. 
3. There is always a lesson at the end of a struggle. I don't want to miss out on learning something by giving up before the lesson has been fully taught. 
4. Giving up puts something/someone else in charge of my life. 
5. MY MAMA AIN'T RAISE NO BITCH! 

Byeeee :)
