Giving up is ok
I feel like modern society views giving up more and more as something negative. If you give up pursuing a goal people see as a positive thing to accomplish, and don't plan to pursue it further, you must be a failure. Whether that is dropping out of college, quitting a high prestige/paying job or anything else.
But not everything is meant for everybody. Some people just don't enjoy studying, or working a high end job, or playing the piano.
For me giving up is more like redirection. Sounds corny, I know. But If Id still pursue goals of my 16 year old self, I would find myself trying to go pro in Fortnite and game all day. That's not how I want to live my life.
Over time we all will change and with us our goals. So giving up goals and picking new ones is a completely natural part of the process.
This is not supposed to be an excuse. If you have a goal, pursue it by any means.
But if you find yourself getting miserable, depressed, burnt out or exhausted along the way, ask yourself if it's really worth it. Then you can decide whether you keep doing the same, change directions or approach it in a different way.
