You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say, ‘You know what? I’m giving up, I don’t care.’ And then you go to bed and you wake up and it’s a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again.- Nicole Scherzinger

…but I can’t.

I don’t want to pause.

I don’t want to take a deep breath.

I want to give up.

I don’t want to have to worry about my ambitions that keep me awake at night.

Neither, do I want to worry about waking up every morning to pursue these dreams.

Don’t you get it? I want to give up. I just wan dey mehn.

But what’s the price though? The price for giving up.

Mediocrity?

Poverty?

Not fulfilling purpose?

Bitterness?

Anger and Frustration?

Not worth it at all. So, I will keep going.

I want to give up but I can’t.
