do not quit
keep pushing
it’s been a while….I really have no reason as to why I haven’t written to you for so long but all I can say is that life has been a lot.
It is 12:02am and I am sitting on my not-so-puffy hostel bed when the thoughts of exams invaded my mind, while I was watching a vlog, I quietly muttered ‘I’m tired’
not just tired like the usual way we feel tired or we the way we sleep it off, but rather tired of everything and everyone, tired of the expectations, tired of holding it all together. but admist all of those thoughts something in me keeps saying “do not quit” not because I can’t make the decision to actually stop trying but there’s just something that makes you know, like a nudging that you just can’t
you have people depending on you
responsibilities are piling up
high expectations and this quiet pressure that hides in the words “no matter the grade we are still proud of you”
But you know deep down that just can’t quit
so you keep pushing, you keeping thriving
tired, exhausted, scared, unsure, unmotivated
even when it keeps getting hard every single day
because you just cannot quit
remember some people are waiting for you to finish so they can clap and celebrate while others are waiting for you to give up so that they can laugh-don’t ever give them that moment
so pick your hard
don’t stop for those who want to see you fail and fall and because there is no motivation or applause but rather you keep going because a part of you knows there’s so much more in store
because you owe it to the you who first had the courage to start.
please don’t quit, pause but don’t stop
till next time….
