You know, I don't mind failing.
I don't mind the delays. I don't mind the U-Turns. I don't mind how tall the ladder I should climb. I can wait. I can find my way around my highs and lows.
But my parents are getting older.
So the delays should matter. The U-turns should have shortcuts, and I should crawl my way up to the top of the ladder because I can't let my parents wait when they're running out of time.
So, in the end, I do mind failing, knowing that it isn't just about me.
