I didn’t see it.
I didn’t realize how…
… how natural it is…
… how inescapable it is.
I thought that I was a failure
Like I wasn’t doing it right
Like I was behind in life
Like I was STAGNANT.
I thought that my family would judge me
Like I wasn’t trying hard enough
Like I wasn’t giving it my all
Like I was A BAD SEED.
I thought my friends would leave me
Like I was baggage
Like I made them look bad
Like I was A BURDEN.
But… I was wrong.
So very wrong indeed.
I didn’t see it…
… see it until now.
I am NOT a failure
I am a fighter
I am a conqueror
I am a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.
My family did NOT judge me
They spoke life into me
They motivated me
They supported my GROWTH.
My friends didn’t leave me
They encouraged me
They fought with me
They positively UPLIFTED ME.
I didn’t realize how…
…how natural it is…
…how inescapable it is…
…how okay it is…
…to be set back.
