Shrimp Pasta

When is the right time to give up on someone? 

This is my current struggle and no, I'm not talking about my man. He is the biggest sweetheart.
Do you feel me? You know, when you really, REALLY want just the best for someone and that person could easily have it, but because of their life choices, they have a difficult life. Can you relate?
