What’s a moment you wanted to give up but kept going?

It has happened often throughout my life. In the end it comes down to the fact that they cant beat you if you wont quit. May I refer you to Calvin Coolidge on the subject of Persistence.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
Calvin Coolidge 30TH US PRESIDENT

This afternoon when I was crying on my floor

Anytime I relapsed in my eating disorders

Sunday night

AP Computer Science, every single project. But I got an A in the course! So who cares if I had trouble with some of the coding.

when i had to work for about 30 hrs straight.

A few times during my life. A few breakups, my divorce, etc. The latest challenge is my dad's death last Thursday. Strangely, though I feel like absolute crap, like someone took a shotgun and blew a hole through me, giving up is simply not an option.

God Bless all of you struggling with depression, mental illness, etc.

Too many to count

When my cousin overdosed.
I could barely pull myself out of my own grief to do anything.
It’s still hard today. Seeing his son grow up makes it better & worse
