Giving up

Today is day 17 os the challenge and the question is: What am I giving up?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm giving up of being happy. If for some reason I'm not making the right choices in my life. I know that the only person standing in my way is me. To that conclusion I already reached. And I've been working on getting out of my way. 

I used to feel that I was giving up of many things because of how close I am to my family. That the time I normally spent at home meant that I was giving up of a lot of things in my personal life. Specially now that my parents don't live in Barcelos. But honestly I think I was wrong. I love my family and I love the time I'm at home and everytime I want to do something with my friends I can always stay in Porto and in Barcelos. It's not because I'm in Afife that I'm not able to do other things. 

I really don't know what more can I say about this subject. I guess it's the first time that I'm at loss of words! 

I guess that if this questions had been mad a few months ago my answer would have been very different. At that time I was on a very low point of my depression and I gave up of many things. I stopped doing all the things that I used to do. I turned into someone that only wanted to stay at home and see no one. All I wanted was to stay in the bubble of my comfort zone. Getting out of there meant an effort that I wasn't ready to do. All the things that I loved meant anything. And I gave up of many things during that period. Now I feel better, I feel that my old self is coming back and I've been trying to do everything that I want to do even if I go by myself. I'm not scared of it.
