Being Okay Requires Too Much Effort

I have been living, dreaming, and i have always been a failure — not until I discovered how to love myself.

Welcome to my first ever blog post. I usually write down my thoughts in order for me to process problems and thus here is a dark one.
For so long that I, myself, has forgotten: the feeling of redeeming yourself after falling from the edge of a steep cliff. A cliff; too high if you’re looking from above, and a cliff, not that high if you’re looking from the ground.
That pretty much translates how life must be performed. Everyone needs a place to escape the everyday complications of life. It has its ups and downs, and we all learn to deal with them in different ways.
Although, the difficulty varies from the differences of our perspectives but when the time comes it will benefit us to reshape ourselves; scoping in further.
That, too, applies in the concept of failing. life was never perfect, we need to be at ease with making mistakes, learning from them and lowering our goals when they are thwarted.
But why does one must feel bad when the feeling of failing gets in?
Because failing is like a virus. It can corrupt and end the system easily; unless, the user, acts and deals with the virus with the power to fight and overcome.
Hence, being okay requires too much effort. It’s a cycle of life: a cycle needed to be alive. A cycle tough enough to break someone’s existence, and a cycle of life i wouldn’t mind repeating just to feel genuine happiness.
