Failure

Feeling like a failure isn’t anything new to anyone. Life is hard, whether you’re trying or not. But, when you’re trying, that feeling of scorn burns a little deeper. They say you’re supposed to get up and try harder, that it will all work out. What if you’re all “tried” out. It gets tiring believing in yourself when it seems like no one else does. So you think, should I give up?

I’ve almost given up a few times and I know if I had given up, I wouldn’t be where I am now. I have so much more I want to accomplish, but if I had given up that first time or even the 100th time, I would actually be feeling worse than I do now.

I don’t know if anyone is reading my writing and sometimes I have to fight to put my ideas on a page. Sometimes I lose that fight but those days I win, I feel like a champ. That feeling definitely conquers the feeling of failing. Things aren’t always going our way, and when it doesn’t, and it seems like it’s getting the best of us, maybe that means step back and shake some things up, do a few things differently. But, never give up because if you do, that feeling of failure will probably never go away. If it sucks so bad, why keep it?

I know giving up will never be the answer because, right now as I’m writing this, I feel like a winner, and that loser feeling is surely departing.
