Sometimes quitting is just a realization that something we thought might work for us or that we thought would be an interest really isn't.

I got my AA degree in music (1973) but when I transferred to the 4 year university & compared my level of talent on my flute with others at my same level. I decided to quit my music major. I didn't stop playing in chamber groups at the level I was ok at but I changed my major completely as a junior. Everyone thought I was crazy because it was going to take another 4 years to get my BS in Accounting & Computer Science. I just didn't have what I knew I needed to be a music major & make a career out if it. To everyone around it looked like I was quitting when in reality I was just starting down a new path (which I did successfully accomplish)

Lol....I have lots of projects started & then set aside. Not really quit but for the time being & my house will probably NEVER get fixed the way it needs to. Sometimes that is just how life works & each individual has their own priorities.
