Failure

You fail. I fail. Together, we fail. No matter who you are, you will fail in life at something.

I think that we always get so scared of failing. Like failing means that we're less of a person. Or maybe it's that we're so afraid of showing a weaker, more vulnerable side to anyone.

I think seeing someone at the moment they fail at something is one of the most beautiful moments in life. Seeing their reaction can be beautiful and wonderful. Or it can be one of the moments they spend forever trying to hide from.

I don't understand that. You can't go back and fix your failures. Nor can you hide them under the rug. Why even try? Why can't people ever just admit that they've failed at something? I think this is the reason some people refuse to get a divorce even though their relationship is obviously volatile. People are unwilling to admit that their marriage was a failure.

I have failed more times than I can count. I've fallen so many times, gotten bruises, scrapes and skinned knees from it...But I still get up. And when I get up, I don't try to act like I didn't fall. I fell. I failed. I broke. It's life. It happens. Fall down, get back up and admit you fell. Acknowledge the injuries you've gotten from it and realize that the experience will be with you forever.
