Does anyone else just want to give up?

metqa · 08-06-2008, 12:16 AM

Everything.

Give up being nice and professional when people are always treating you like you are crap.

Give up being the nice quiet tenant when your landlord is gonna send you nasty mean letters anyway.

give up all work and effort to recycle, when everyone else is just tossing there trash in and around the dumpster but you have to drive your trash across town just to recycle it.

Give up being a good friendly neighbor, when you neighbors are obnoxious, clueless, or gabby and get you in trouble with the cops for no reason, and keep you up late with drunkedness

Give up trying to get a good job, cause you finished paying off your student loans and still can't keep a job more than a year or two. and everyone wants years and years of experience

Give up loving cause they are always gonna leave you or die.

Give up cooking cause it's so much work and will never taste as good as the store or restaurant stuff.

give up caring, cause nobody cares what you care about.

Give up dreaming cause your dreams are neither important, nor obtainable so why bother

Give up sleeping cause all you have are nightmares, and you aren't getting enough rest anyway so why bother.

Give up trying to be a better person cause everybody else is thriving by not

Give up being the clean one, cause everybody else has found coping mechanisms in the bottle and the pill

Give up growing a garden,cause the bugs are going to destroy anything edible, and farms are disappearing anyway, just buy your veggies at walmart, like a good girl . ..

Give up sharing, cause you are just giving them some part of you with which to hurt you later

Give up saving water, cause the water company is gonna charge you minimum usage of 3000 gallons even if you only use 1000

Give up trying to be interesting, cause you friends really don't want to watch the rest of the episodes with you and just don't have the guts to tell you

Give up trying to be original, cause you are a fake at everything you do, and you and everyone else know it.

Give up trying to be clever cause you always ruin the punch line, always

Give up being energy efficient, cause $5 bulb that burn out in a year are too expensive, and you are tired of sweating from not using the air to keep your power bill low.

Give up shopping for discount food, cause the veggies are gonna rot within 48 hours of you buying them, no matter how good it looked in the store.

Give up being tactful, cause no one is tactful to you.

Give up trying to sound educated, cause everyone is just gonna look at you and assume you are a lower class citizen not worth listening to.

Give up trying to be "somebody" cause long ago you forgot who you wanted to be and never remembered, now you are trying to be who everyone else wants you to be but it doesn't work cause you are faking it. It is so tiring.

Give up trying to stay away while driving . . .

Give up trying to fight the headaches . . .

give up trying to be happy . . .

Give up trying not to cry . . .cause it makes your eyes look terrible and then people come up and bother you asking what's wrong when they really don't care. it's just courtesy to ask.

Give up being the strong one cause that's what your name is supposed to mean.

Give up being a grown up cause you just want to hide in the closet and cover your head till it all goes away.

Give up wanting cause even though you won the free cruise, the person you want to go with doesn't want to go with you.

Give up hoping that tomorrow will be better cause that's what you said yesterday and today was worse.

Give up being cheerful, cause you are a whole bucket of bitter and your boyfriend wastes no time in telling you so. cheerfully and with love, of course.

Give up living fair, cause the speeders get there first, and the pushers get the last one, and the cheaters pay less.

Give up . . . Oh well you get the point.

No, because if I can live my life the best way I can, and treat others the way I want to be treated, then that's all that matters. As hard as it is to do, I still have to do it.
There will be people who do the above, but if we go with this flow, it won't make us feel any better. At least that's my humble opinion.

LoraJR72 · 08-14-2008, 05:05 AM

I vow to never give up!

iamcrazy · 08-14-2008, 11:07 AM

"Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying i will try again tomorrow"

So true for me in so many ways...

I'm old enough to know you can't give up--EVER. To be a better person is to take the high road. Like Jesus, you must turn the other cheek.

oobladee · 08-30-2008, 10:17 PM

no.

cuz around the next corner, there is one more beautiful thing i did not expect ten minutes ago!

Cuz time is so precious and anyone who makes me feel like crap is 86'ed from my life. Which tend to make life so much better almost immediately.

cuz i quit analyzing *why* people are so effin mean and 86-ing them simply cuz they are mean. why take it personal when they will treat the next person like this too?

cus.life.is.beautiful.

Enza · 08-30-2008, 10:24 PM

yes sometimes I feel exactly like that, then I snap my self out of it, squeeze my kid & dog, life isn't easy & sometimes other people really suck

Hahaha, y'know as I was typing my last post I kept saying "who is it who's got that in their siggy!!?!??", I couldn't remember how it went and the part after the first sentence. It was YOU! "BRA!!! La la la la Life Goes On!"

And the realization that despite how much life could suck, "If I didn't wake up the next morning, I'd be awfully surprised." It's funny, quoting myself . . . I actually said that silliness.

SweetPoison2 · 08-31-2008, 03:45 PM

Stop whining and start living! The title of Dr. Laura's book ~ never read it but like the title!

You are not happy? Only you have the power to change. Don't give anyone YOUR POWER ~

Don't let anyone make you feel like ***** because of their actions.

Take Back The Power!

metqa · 08-31-2008, 04:11 PM

If you want to view Paradise, simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. . .

There is no life I know that compares to PURE IMAGINATION.
Living there you'll be free,
If you truly wish to be.

can you guess who said this? (I know!

rimom1969 · 09-01-2008, 06:26 AM

Yes, all the time. But I won't ever give up on life. I am the child of a parent who committed suicide and no matter how bad my depression gets, I will never, ever give up on life. I would never put my kids/family through what I went through when my dad took his life. I think he is the ultimate coward and a very strong person at the same time.

I am going through this right now. Just started meds and they aren't helping yet.
