When is it Ok to give up?

When is it ok to give up? When much of your days are spent  deeply fantasizing about a life that doesn’t even remotely resemble your own? When you look at people having fun and enjoying themselves and almost feel like they are communicating in a language which you no longer know how to speak? How about when all of your thoughts are consumed with what could be if you were only just brave enough to leave? Is it ok when almost everything that comes out of your mouth is a dumbed-down version of a lie, because you just cannot bring yourself to admit the only truth in your mind: I hate it here; is it ok then? How about when you have found yourself crying every night while you are all alone, when no one else can see you, because you have never felt more alone or unable to do something about what your life has become? Is it ok to give up then?

What to you do when your alarm clock goes off in the morning and you nearly burst into tears just because you cannot stand bringing yourself to going through another day in a life you hate? What do you do when your friends all offer to go out but you have lost all motivation to join them? What do you do when you just can't bring yourself to fake the smile so many people have come to believe is real? Is it ok to give up then?
