And it was almost like
we gave up, you know? Like, we were both so sad and done and
just didn't want to continue on with it further. It took
too much effort and it didn't make sense to continue. But
for some reason, maybe it was our pride or even our
stubbornness, but whatever it was, it kept us going. We
didn't cave. We didn't give in and things got worse, a
lot worse. But at the same time, they became a whole lot
better.
