I have failed,
Yet I don't feel that way.

Why?

Why does it feel like it isn't the end?

Why does it feel as if it's all good?

Is this feeling wrong?

What is the definition of wrong?

Can you answer that without using the word 'right'?

I have failed, but have I actually?
Am I failing, or is it the end?
When will I know I have failed?
When someone else tells me so?
If so, then I have failed every single day of my life.
That's wrong.

There is no definite failure. It is relative.

All my life, I've been told to be a failure, a disappointment, a waste.
Did I listen? Yes
Did I care? Unfortunately, yes. That was wrong.

How do I know that caring for what I used to hear about me was wrong?
Could I have known it was wrong back when I used to care? No.

I can only know something is wrong after experiencing what is right. Differentiating between right and wrong can never be done before the decision is taken.

Now, yes, I have failed. However, I don't feel like I probably should, which is why people would say that how I feel or am acting is wrong. Wrong. It is my choice and perspective as to how I want to feel. For others it may be a failure, for me it is a stepping stone. It cannot be worse, and it won't be. Success will come, I know. I trust me more than these animals around. They just need to shove popcorn down their throats and watch me prove them wrong.
