Giving up on you is never the right answer.

I give up!

I give up trying to figure things out.

I give up trying to make what it do do what it needs to do so I can get what I need done.

I give up trying to squeez a round peg, me, into a square hole of what the fresh hell is going on.

I give up trying to tell myself I am not a bit discouraged from forever trying and trying not to admit to being a bit discouraged as this past little while has been trying.

I give up on everything else BUT giving up!

I try.

I give.

Nothing happens.

I try.

Again.

Nothing happens.

Again.

Crap.

Fresh hell.

*Cassandra stares up at Mt. Hard and prepares to make the exhausting trip, yet again.

Egads.

Drat it all.

*Cassandra pouts about going up Mt. Hard sans Lucky Charms*

What are you looking at, beloveds? You got your own Mt. Hard to get up.

Let’s go!

going,

Cassandra

Note: When nothing works, take a breath. A deep one. Then, pout a bit, if you must, but get back after it. I know. I know. It is taking forever. So long, in fact, you question if you are going the right way. You wonder if you have missed a turn. You wonder if YOU will ever get a turn. Who knows? You will never find out if you allow yourself to give up. Crap.
