keeping on
Not giving up
Keeping on means continuing or persisting with something despite difficulty or the passage of time: She kept on working even after everyone else had left.
It can also mean retaining something rather than discarding it: We're keeping on the old sofa for now.
The phrase often carries a sense of determination or stubbornness.
