Is it ever okay to give up? Iβm so tired, I wish I could melt into a liquid and disappear into the ocean.

hi liΓͺu π« i hope you're doing okay... taking a break, pausing progress, and even making the decision to discontinue something (my interpretation of giving up) are all valid actions to take.... i'm cheering you on and sending strength your way . and don't forget about self care...! whatever that might mean for you β€οΈ

it's more than okay to take a step back from things when you're overwhelmed, i've given up on so many things before to allow myself that rest.... it is hard enough to exist as is, you deserve whatever compassion that can make things easier for you

i lost nearly dozens of friends after graduating, it was deeply demoralizing. maintaining adult friendships is so difficult when everyone's no longer in close proximity to each other by default. it took me years to summon the will to proactively spend time with my friends, but i don't regret it ever. hope you can find some respite from this part of your life
