How to use "Let up" in context?
When it comes to giving up, many people feel like they have to fight tooth and nail against what feels like an impossible task. They cling to the hope that one day the stars will align and everything will be perfect. But sometimes that's not what's best for you.
It can be hard to let go when you've invested so much emotion into something, but sacrificing your own happiness is rarely the answer. It's important to be realistic about what you're willing to give up and make sure you're doing what's best for you.
