I give up.

I give up. I want to quit. I can’t quit, so I’m giving up instead. There is a difference.

I’m giving up my need to control things. I’m giving up perfection. I’m giving up on unrealistic expectations.

Install, I’m simply going to try. I’m going to see what happens. I’m going to accept the results of my try.

I give up. I guess up trying to be all things to all people. I can’t be everything. I can’t be everywhere. I can’t do everything. I will try my best and let that be enough. My efforts will speak for me. Loudly. Unapologetically. Lovingly.

I give up. I give up wanting to always be right. I don’t always get things right. I try to. The more I live, the more I understand. I really don’t understand half of the things I thought I understood.

I give up. I surrender. I acknowledge my reach may exceed my grasp. I’m trying to learn to live with it.

I give up. I am not strong. I don’t have to be. Not anymore. Neither do you. Things truly will work out in the wash. The rest we will deal with.

I don’t know how to do the simplest things in Canada. It is frustrating. I don’t know how to save files. I don’t know how to maneuver within the software. It feels like a metaphor for my life right now. I just don’t know what to do. Or how to do it. Or who to reach out to. Or if I even should.

I’ll try to leave each piece with a bit of encouragement. Some days it really is hard to do so. I feel like a failure today. I gave my all and got nothing back today. I will try again tomorrow. I’m trying not to focus on what comes back to me. I’m trying to focus on what I can give out. There are days when I just want to quit. I can’t quit. So I give up…

hanging in there I think,
