It’s been forever and day since I have been on tumblr, literally. Here’s how I see it; Facebook is for stalking, twitter is for people who constantly have something to say, instagram is for embarrassing pictures/food, and tumblr is for your own sanity. Blogging is, like, the best way to get out all of your inner struggles and problems. Sometimes, you have a million things running around in your head and you just need to sort through them and write them down. Typically you don’t even care who reads it. You just have to put it all out on the line, and know that someone out there with a pulse is reading it. To blog is to finalize your statements, to let it all out, and sometimes, to let go…

“To let go.” I feel that letting go and giving up really go hand in hand. While many people will be rolling over in their graves at this sentence, I feel that there is a method to this madness; sometimes giving up is your best possible option. Hold the disagreements. There comes a moment in some situations, when it’s time to give up and accept defeat, or else you will drive yourself mad trying to keep up. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in fighting for what you want with everything you have, but the sad truth; there is always going to be a winner and a loser, and you can’t always be the winner. Sometimes, you have to be the one to forfit and bow out.

While this is probably the hardest thing to do, and certainly a blow to the ol’ ego, for the love of God, and for your own sanity,walk away and wash your hands of whatever the situation may be and everyone involved. It’s a bittersweet route to take but in the end, you’ll be thanking yourself. It’s a hard thing to do and whoever your giving up may be even more difficult, but there is no greater moment of clarity, than when you accept that you lost, you have no fight left in you, and you are, in some sick way, okay with it. There is a catch, however. In doing this… You have to let go of whatever it is completely. You have to stop trying to be what someone else wants, stop planning out conversations in your head, and absolutely do not wait til midnight to take your makeup off “just in case”. When you’re out, your out. Wholeheartedly.

Cowardly behavior? Maybe. But I am okay with it. Because life will go on. And it does go on. Time doesn’t stop just because you are having a bad day, week, or even a bad year. You have to keep on keeping on, it’s the only thing you really can do.

I guess the point of all this really comes down to one thing; don’t be consumed by the things that you can’t change. Embrace them, accept them, and learn from them. Every day is a new day. You’ll have plenty of other oportunities to fuck up more shit. Dont worry.
