Hold on

“If you give up too soon,
you’ll never know what you’ll be missing.
Keep going and never quit.”

People tend to do that a lot.

They tend to quit when the going gets tough. They give up too soon when things go out of control. They leave. They run away.

I have always pondered if the thought of wondering what’ll gonna happen next if they hold on a little longer crosses their mind once in a while when they’re faced with situations that need answers like this. Or they’re too busy thinking that it happened for a reason and that reason is to open new doors so you just have to forget and start anew.

Move on. Oftentimes that is suggested.

If you keep on moving on every time then you’ll miss things, won’t you?

Well you must have been thinking now that I am a bitter person who’s having a hard time moving on over things. Yes I am guilty of that very fact. I am not a very big fan of moving on especially if I get too attached to things.

But think about the thought. It does have a point right?

Yes.

Things definitely happen for a reason. They HAPPENED for a reason. But that doesn’t always necessary mean that it was not the best and that there’s something better. (Wow!  I’m cynical.) It happened so you can be stronger and be a better you. However, sometimes you don’t have to give up on it just because you feel like it’s going nowhere, it’s wrong, it was a bad decision, it hurts, it’s driving you insane, it’s unreasonable, it’s too much to handle.

(If I am not making any sense to you, at least to myself, I am)

Who knows what’s next after if you gave up on it just like that. After all, you were taught to stand up and keep going after you stumble when you were little. Yes, you’ll get hurt. You’ll cry. But they shouldn’t stop you. It’s a cycle. It’ll happen to you over and over and over again on different circumstances.

But If you just surrender will you ever know the answer?

No.

So hold on.

Coz I’ll keep on holding on.
