    Giving Up

    Amina Irfanullah
    November 29, 2023

    Sometimes the greatest form of giving up

    Is believing and supporting

    Everyone and everything

    Yet removing the things you deserve most

    For the happiness of others.

    Never give yourself up

    for the sake of another’s happiness,

    for your feelings are more precious

    than that of the entire world.
