Failures

When things do not go well, optimists often say " when one door closes, another will open." It is true there are endless of possibilities but when faced with failures especially ones that come as a shock, it is a daunting feat not to feel disappointed, lost, angry, dejected and face the mirror and say "It's okay, I am alright". Good friends will stick by to encourage and family will be there to support you. However, it takes time to recover. And before you do so, you need to often wear a mask of smiles and happiness to show that it's okay, I have already rebound back. Yet inside you are crumbling down. At times, lies are needed to cover up your failures for the fear of judgement from members of the society. Lies after lies it never ends. It gets so exhausting and the odds seems like it is never in your favor. All the bad things seem to happen all at once. I do not know if there will be a rainbow after the storm, nobody does. However, we can only hope and brace ourselves during the storm. It can rage over a long period time or it can be just a passing cloud. Nonetheless, it is crucial we "make it out alive". Failure is also another form of natural selection. One of it is between those who succeed and those who did not and the other is those who emerged and rebound from failure and those who continue to wallow in despair.
