Sometimes when things get too hard, it becomes easier to give-up rather than pushing through and believing in the dream. For me, I have always been a big dreamer. I have always wanted to move to San Francisco and pursue video game production and film making. However, the journey there will be no easy task and there have been, and will probably continue to be, times when I wanted to give up. However, there are many things that you should never give up on.

Doing what makes you happy — It has become known that many people have become obsessed with the idea of money and becoming famous; however, you should never give up on doing what makes you happy. If you want to try and play video games competitively, then do that. If you want to walk dogs, then do that. The happier you are living your life, the better off it is going to be.

Dreaming — As a kid, you always are dreaming of what the future is going to be like. You should never stop that. Dreaming is a part of life that allows for you to strive for something. Dreaming is a way to escape the daily struggles that come with life.

Love — Yes, I know that the concept of love is unfathomable to some — I am one of them. For me, I don’t think that love is real, but I never want to give up on the idea that maybe one day someone will prove me wrong of that.

Friends — You should NEVER give up on your friends. Even if you and that person are fighting, you should never just say, “this isn’t working anymore,” The idea that you didn’t even want to fight to keep their friendship will hurt them. I am not saying that friendships do no come and go; however, don’t give up on them unless you tried your hardest to keep them first.

Yourself — The final thing: never give up on yourself. The minute you give up on yourself, the more likely you are going to be to give up on all of the things above. Even though sometimes you can’t figure out where you are going in life, and you are picking out all of these little things about you, you can't just give up.
