Have you ever felt shame for wanting to quit something? A job? A relationship? I've been thinking a lot about this concept lately as I'm enduring treatment for cancer yet again. It's been hard in so many ways that I often want to quit. Yet, I'm aware that I feel pressure to not give up, to keep going. We live in a culture that encourages us to persevere in the face of adversity when maybe the best decision is to stop and listen to our hearts and minds about what is best for us.
