Good day everyone. I'm once again delighted to be a part of Hive Open Mic Week 166. The theme is equally very interesting and encouraging as well. Never Give Up to me is a phrase that stays stuck at the back of my mind always.

This theme is very personal to me. My birthday is coming up in exactly 5 weeks and I'm having that sick feeling again. The feeling of unenthusiasm, sadness and all. I just barely get excited about my birthday because there's a lot I feel I should accomplish at this age yet I haven't checked half of the list in the box.

I see people just burying their heads in work and they seem very fulfilled but I can't even tell what I want to do. Today I feel like I know where I'm going and tomorrow I'm as confused as hell. I could go weeks without writing or engaging in anything that should take me a step closer to my dreams.

Perhaps you feel the same way too. Your journey is probably very exhausting and you're doubting the light at the tunnel. This theme says "it's okay." I've grown to realize that no experience in this journey of life is a waste. It might not always look like a blessing or what you prayed for but its playing a big role in getting you to that dream place so never give up!

I chose Sia's Angel By The Wings because the song seems to be ministered to a weary soul, a hurting soul. She says: * Hold on, head up, be strong*. The lines that say take an angel by the wings, beg her now for anything feels to me as though she's emploring that you pray to God over what really overwhelms you and the chorus gives the song an excellent finish which relates to the theme, it says You can do anything. I hope we all always let this stick to our minds. Never give up!
