the art of quitting

"It's so hard to leave--until you leave. Then it's the easiest thing in the goddamned world." - Paper Towns, John Green

Same goes for me and quitting. When we're told as children all those lies about how winners never quit and quitters never try or whatever the hell it was, they're really just that--lies. The less simple truth is that there aren't hard and fast rules about quitting and the people who do it. It's not always about surrender. Sometimes, quitting is an act of self respect.
