failure

Few days ago I just learned, failure is a gift to my future self.

I may be shedding too many tears right now.

Lamenting about how people are pompous because they are giving me a second chance and how my petty brain thinking that I do not deserve that opportunity.

But, failure means I have tried.

There was an effort, a step toward my dream.

Failure is a proof that I am striving to be a better me.

It is a proof that I had not give up on my dream yet.

Through this failure, I shall believe that I am not the same person anymore.

My present me is better than me of the past, and my future me is obviously better than the current myself.

My steps are not perfect. Far from perfect.

I once heard someone say,

"When you are adrift on the open sea, you either die from thirst or you survive."

And needless to say, survive is not always the easiest option.
