It's always disheartening to have to give up on something you love. No matter what it is, accepting defeat is a tough challenge. Being deeply invested causes us to go blind to the obvious. Every problem becomes invisible, since there's no way that this - what you've been devoted to for months - could be failing. Learning to see through this haze is tough, and takes real motivation. Giving up is seen as cowardly, but in the right situation - when all hope is truely lost, giving up can be a sign of bravery.
