Failure & The Future

“Don’t ever write anything like this ever again.”

That was the critique on my first poem. Sure, I failed my first writing assignment. I kept trying and guess what happened? I failed even more, for a while lol. The truth is it takes failure to find out what’s meant for us. I grew up with a false sense of reality that things would come easy to me in life. It was absolutely necessary for me to fail the times I did. Also, it’s hard to write emotionally invoking material when your biggest issues are not getting breakfast in time for first period.

So like most people who fail time and again, I quit. I chose the easy way out to avoid the discomfort of change. The mold of me may have taken longer to form, but by forcing myself to feel the absence of what I truly loved in life, I found it.

When you quit something you love doing, it will bother you and eat at you forever. The lack of fulfillment can honestly get depressing. I took those feelings this year and gave myself the platform to continue this passion of mine. While I prefer story telling and content writing, the best place to be honest is your own.

So if you’re reading this looking for inspiration, I hope you quit all the things in life that won’t serve the person you’re supposed to be. I hope you stick with what makes you happy. We’re literally on a floating rock. So do what serves you.
