Letter To My Younger Self : Failures

  You can read all A To Z Blogs here  

Dear thirteen year old me,

I hope you are working to fulfill your dreams even when I am writing this to you. I wish you happiness and abundance.

You know, time has taught me one thing, “Failure isn’t about losing, it gives you an opportunity to try again with better knowledge.” I am someone who has learned this through experience, and now I want to tell everyone about it. It is what I love about myself, no gatekeeping after learning something new. I know your life wasn’t easy because people around you were not okay with accepting failure, and everyone wanted you to pass with flying colors in whatever you did. But my dear baby, now things have changed. My successes and failures are mine, nobody cares about them anymore. The ones who are there don’t ask me for reasons or remind me that success is the only way in life. So, in a way, I am happy and satisfied.

I want to thank you for being so strong and for nailing everything you did. I won’t say I disappointed you, because success and failure are complementary, and having only one can make your life monotonous and bring a lot of stress along with it. While you are reading this, recall a moment when you failed. What was your state, and who caused that for you? I even remember one incident, not adding details here. I want you to remember and reflect on that.

You have been awesome all your life, and now I am trying to keep it up by being balanced in everything I do. Whether I fail or pass, it’s all mine, not borrowed, not forced, just mine. I hope someday I will make you proud with this version, as now life looks better and more beautiful even if it offers failures.

Yours truly,
Tanvi
