Is giving up a bad thing?

I don't think giving up is automatically a bad thing. I can always quit. Weirdly, remembering that makes things feel a little lighter. It makes me think, okay, maybe I can keep going a little longer. If I have more of anything now than I used to, maybe it's patience. Back then I might not have been strong. Maybe I was just numb. These days I think there's value in being a fool sometimes — dropping the pride and just trying. If it all falls apart, then it falls apart. I'll think again when I get there. I'll figure something ouuuuuut.
