"How does one become a butterfly? They have to want to learn to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

— Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“I guess that’s just part of loving people:

 You have to give things up. Sometimes you

 even have to give them up.”

i'll never stop trying..

someone who doesn't care about you anymore you should walk away

I think when you're in love with someone who doesn't care about you anymore you should walk away because you are only hurting yourself. You may still love them but just because you are in love with them does not mean you should stay if they are not giving you love in return. 

This scene has such a greater significance

This scene has such a greater significance than what it may first appear. This is when Katniss had truly believed and accepted that she was going to die. That she had lost the war against the capitol, that it was all coming to an end, just as it was destined to in the beginning. She didn’t even fight anymore, it all just seemed so hopeless. The point when they had finally taken the spark out of the girl on fire.

i didn't ask you to give up your life!

I know you're probably ready to give up, but you can't....

~Babe Ruth

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up. 

Why you should never give up

At some point we all feel like throwing in the towel. We’ve lost our vision and our motivation. But there are lots of good reasons to hang in there and fight … and to keep on going till we’ve reached our dreams and goals:

1. As long as you’re alive it’s worth the fight and effort – While you are still breathing you still have the chance, and the choice, to keep trying until you succeed.
2. Remember to be patient and realistic – It takes time to learn skills and to master something new. Be patient with yourself. It’s a journey not a race. Mistakes are normal; they don’t mean that you’re a failure.
3. You are stronger than you think – You can handle differentsetbacks; you have the fight and drive to keep on persevering until you reach your goal. Don’t underestimate your will and energy.
4. Prove who you are: You’re a winner not a quitter - You don’t want to be known as someone who gives up. So go out there and show them that you’ve got what it takes.
5. If someone else has done it you can do it, too. You know that it is possible. It’s not an empty dream. Plan your journey, break the goal down – and you’ll get there in the end.
6. Believe In Your Dreams – Don’t fall for the lie that it’s all a waste of time. You can be that person who gets the life they want!!
7. There are others in a worse situation than you – Yes - It’s easy for some people; they have more advantages. But there are also other people who are much worse off than you. Don’t be a helpless victim – write the script for your own life.
8. It’s time to prove the naysayers wrong - There will always be people who will try to pull you down. Ignore what they tell you; keep believing in yourself.

There’s only so much you can do

“There’s only so much you can do before you stop and realize it’s over. The problem we have is we hate giving up. It’s a sign of weakness and nobody likes to be weak; but sometimes giving up will show that you have the strength to move on.”

Giving Up

I don’t see whats going on,
All I know is it hurts like hell.
I was punched, repeatedly,
But, then, you might as well.

My heart is in both my hands,
My fingers, holding it tight.
I know there wasn’t long,
And I will not win this fight.

My tears are falling down,
And I am in so much pain.
I think it’s all finally over,
But it will be this way again.

My head feels so darn heavy,
And all I want to do is sleep.
Once my head hits the pillow,
I know all I’ll do is weep.

And when morning comes,
I will only just turn away.
I’ll close my curtains, again,
And I’ll stay in bed all day.

Because I don’t need to face,
The day which isn’t mine.
It’s forced on me, to live it,
But I’m running out of time.

My eyes are crimson red,
My heart is burning sore.
And by the look of my arms,
I can’t do this anymore.
