show us your tenacity

[ruby_red_grapefruit]

these past few weeks, i feel like i want to give up. Then, i sat in front of my desk and looked at jeonghan & joshua trading card from caratland 2019. I suddenly remembered how they wanted to quit together. They cried in front of their manager, whining to quit and ending their training period. But somehow, they ended up choosing to not give up. They tried once again and they made it instead.

I then wondered, "am i able to go through this hardship? Can i make it?"

Everything will be different once you choose to give up or not to give up. You'll be a completely different person. And you're in charge of choosing between those two options. You're in charge of your own fate.

I know, quitting doesn't mean you're weak. It could be empowering. But, you need to know what's the best option for your life? You know what's the best for you, either it's quitting or not.

I realize that i am not alone, too. My friends and I, we have to go through this hardship together too. We could encourage each other so everyone will feel like we have each other.

They have lifted up my spirit a little bit. They also showed me that it's okay to feel like you want to give up, it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel you can't endure it anymore.

Well thank you, Jeonghan and Joshua.

I hope I will have the same tenacity as you two. I hope I will not give up. I hope I can make it, just as you two. I hope I can endure this for at least the next eight months.

I love you both, so so much. You guys mean so much to me... thank you for always being there for me.
