I don’t think you failed yourself. But the fact that you’re still moving forward with what you’re doing now means you’re still making progress. Maybe it’s not the same kind of progress as before, and maybe things are taking longer than you expected, but you’re still learning, growing, and trying. Your old awards and certificates don’t define your worth or everything you’re capable of becoming. You haven’t failed yourself—you’re just on a different part of your journey right now.

Maybe I failed the version of me who dreamed of having it all—the awards, achievements, and recognition. But I know that old me would still be proud because I chose peace over proving myself. I may not have much to show now, but I’m happier, and maybe that’s the success he was looking for all along

i dropped out of 11th grade last month because i was dealing with a shit ton of stuff and carrying a burden that i felt like i had to bear because my parents wanted me to be the one to get us out of this situation. i couldn't handle it anymore and ended up doing something i deeply regret, which eventually led me to put 11th grade on hold for now. i’ve never been this disappointed in myself before www

finishing my academics in life with no failure, because life failure is awaiting for me after all that. destroys me every time.

I wonder if the person who once collected awards with certainty would be proud of the person now struggling for one last title—the "Engr." after their name.
