Andy,

Give up then.

But know this, you will never know what happens next. If you give up now, what are you going to do? just wander around aimlessly? If you give up, you gave up, you made a choice. But you have the chance, nay the opportunity to further yourself, whilst others across oceans and borders don’t have anything. I do not wish to make comparisons, suffering is suffering, but you need to realize your not the only one who feels pain at this very moment. And you definitely won’t be the last, take comfort in this thought. The pain will subside but only unless you begin to let go, let go of the fear of being alone and lonely. Let go of the past and learn from it. Free your mind from painful questions and perceptions. Embrace yourself. The reason we give up, is less about not being able to overcome something. It’s because we don’t trust ourselves, we don’t believe that we could do it. Learn to trust yourself, rebuild your belief in yourself. For without it, you truly are alone.

As for words:

“The art of being happy, lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things” Henry Ward Beecher

“If life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up” Les Brown

Best of luck Andy,
Matty
