A man is not finished when he is defeated. A man is finished when he gives up.

Taken during a frosty winter morning [28 Dec 2014(6:44 AM)].

1st time in my life I have seen temperatures below freezing in Delhi/NCR, this pic was taken by HTC Desire 501, focus always remains a problem in phones, but I never giveup, and almost everytime I succeed.

This is dedicated to all the losers out there who are never going to amount to anything. You suck at life people...why even try? And to K-State fans...Riight, like THAT's gonna happen.

All in good fun, of course....you're all winners and don't you forget it. Well, except you K-State fans. I just feel sorry for you. lol

For 365, Bokeh Wednesday and FGR's group pick Motivation Parody.

Finding "Give Up" on the road to Fredericksburg was SUCH a bonus.

I finally listened to the parrot on my shoulder and quit smoking. 36 hours in and so far so good.

Update: 1 week in and still so far so good!

Thai way...

that was so long ago, and it was never okay, I was just more ignorant, immature, and better at pretending.

I second guessed whether this should go into the book or not since it shows the iconic razor print. Ended up doing something different, but there several razors that made it into the book.

she's the girl that believe that what comes around goes around. The one that hopes for a better day. The one that won't give up on you. She's the girl that's unlike the rest. The one that spent her days smiling, and her nights crying. She's the girl that would love to be loved. The one that looks so damn strong, but feels so weak. She's the girl that picks herself up everytime she falls.

He loves us,so please don't giveup.

THE PELICAN BRIEFING

This guy tries swallowing a huge carp, way bigger than I thought they could manage. I wonder if they giveup after awhile and just set it free.

Taking this photograph created a deep sense of vulnerability and fear within me. It shows more skin than I normally would ever want to show, but I think the message I want to share is more important.

I have been struggling with overcoming Anorexia. It has been very difficult to overcome because it is entwined within the matrix of my PTSD. I have failed to receive any real help with my PTSD.

This struggle with finding solutions for my PTSD has made progress dealing with my eating disorder very difficult. Every time I try to figure things out and ask for assistance I am derailed or ignored. I have been tying on my own to get better but it seems like I am only getting worse. I stopped working out because I knew it was only fueling my anorexia. I tried to consume more calories but when I get over a certain point I start to feel extremely depressed (for lack of better word) and overwhelmed. If I turn off my emotions I can force myself to consume more calories and pretend that I do not exist. But the feelings do exist and cause me emotional pain. I have not weighed myself for a month, which is quite the accomplishment. The only problem with not weighing myself is that I have no way to track my progress. Therefore I weighed myself this morning and found out I have continued to lose weight, not gain weight. Now I am further underweight for someone my height than I ever have been; this should make me happy but I am sad.

I am sad because I am not able to help myself. I feel helpless and quite hopeless about getting better. What I want is for people to understand that people like me, who suffer from multiple mental health issues, need special care. You can’t simply throw words and theories at us and hope we fix ourselves. We need professional help and (almost more importantly) we need social support from our family and friends (if we have any). Without social support healing is extremely difficult, especially if the people who you need (or want) to support you are actually doing the opposite.

I feel ashamed and sad for having Anorexia. Often people tell me to “just go eat more” or “don’t think about it” or “get over it/move on” but these statements make me feel very defeated. Statements like these are sometimes meant as encouragement, but often they are ways for people to minimize the feelings of helplessness they feel and or to make the problem go away by pretending it does not exist. But these statements are hurtful and simply add to my feelings of helplessness. I truly feel stuck, like I can’t get better. I am trying so hard but still coming up a failure.

It is not always obvious who suffers from an eating disorder. Men and women work hard to disguise or hide their eating disorders because we feel that we need them to survive. The majority of those who suffer with an eating disorder do not look emaciated and do not need to look that way in order to need help. Please don't look at someone who you think is thin-normal weight and tell them they are fine just because their bones are not sticking out or they don't look like the skeletons popular media displays (those cases are very rare).

Please help the men and women who suffer from Eating Disorders by visiting any of these websites and either learn more or donate.

Don't give up now, you are almost there... 361 down, just 4 more to go....

When I attempted to do the 365 days self-portrait challenge back in 2008 I gave up when I only had 20 pictures to finish... Just like so many other things in life, I have given up when I got so close to my goal... But not this time. I am going to finish this! So, stay tuned... :)

You’re holding on

Dragging me down faster and faster

I want you to go away

My life is perfect

Well maybe to you

See it from my eyes

Walk in my shoes

My family’s great

Yes they’re grand

But I’m alone

No one’s holding my hand

I hate myself

How did I become this

This abomination

With scars on her wrists

I want to cry

But the tears don’t come

I’m stuck here

Always feeling numb

I lay on my bed

Words spill from my eyes

And they water

I’ve had all I can stand

Sure I’m happy

Or so I appear

But inside I’m dying

To get out of here

I need someone

To take my hand

And guide me through life

Though I’ve been damned

Just hold me close

Let me cry

Accept me as I am

And know I try

I don’t do this

For the attention

I’m hurting

I am my own abrasion

I did the above photo because i thought it would be cool . I didn't edit it coz i was lazy. Right now i could die for a hot chocolate. The quote was learnt from English class in school, don't know the exact words so not gonna bother writing it in quotations. Thanks Beccaaaa for the poem . I think it is . Well you all can perhaps make your own story on this.

I think i'm gonna be away from flickr for quite some time. Not starting today but starting some ...time this month ?!

♫ Dark is the night

I can weather the storm

Never say die

I've been down this road before

I'll never quit

I'll never lay down, mm

See I promised myself that I'd never let me down

I'll never give up

Never give in

Never let a ray of doubt slip in

And if I fall

I'll never fail

I'll just get up and try again

Never lose hope

Never lose faith

There's much too much at stake

Upon myself I must depend

I'm not looking for place or show

I'm gonna win ♫

Diemen, the Netherlands.

July.

I would have never given up :)

I particularly like this one being behind the fence.
