Never give up

Never give up

the thing about human defiance? It doesn't need hope to function.
Let them wonder what keeps you coming back after each knockout. That confusion is worth more than any win.

Never give up. Not because persistence guarantees victory—that’s a lie sold by winners writing history. NO, don’t give up because surrender is too final, too clean for this messy, unfinished life. Giving up isn’t release—it’s premature burial of possibilities that haven’t finished gasping for air.

So keep clawing, not from hope, but from defiance.

Because what awaits you isn’t necessarily success—it’s the savage satisfaction of making your obstacles work harder to destroy you than you initially seemed worth.

    Orin P. Cooper (uninsured), is an avant-garde wordsmith hailing from Oxford, MS ("the birthplace of the comma," as he insists), is best known for his unapologetically unfinished works, including *One Final Draft: Obsessive Compulsive Dangers Pertaining to the Perpetual Pursuit of Perfection* and the divisive *Metaphors Are Like Similes: A Collection of Description.* Most evenings, Orin can be found at a cozy coffee shop, furiously clacking away on a vintage typewriter that may or may not actually work, claiming his spelling errors are "intentional emotional cries for help." He currently resides with a mildly disreputable cat named Subtext, who, like his owner, rarely acknowledges the existence of others and seems to be harboring a secret. Probably porn related.
