If you quit, be honest about why. “It got hard” and “it wasn’t for me” are different reasons.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Both reasons are allowed, and they point to different futures. Something not being for you is a real answer. Leaving because the early part was hard is a decision made before you found out what it is like to be decent at it, and that one tends to repeat. The label matters mostly to you, since the wrong one hides the pattern.

If you are close to leaving something, write the real reason in one plain sentence before you tell anyone. If the sentence is about difficulty, give it three more weeks. If it is about fit, leave cleanly, without a story that makes it someone else’s fault.
