Be Brave Enough to Try Again

Even in the face of earnest defeat.

Over the past few weeks, I have been struggling to keep up with life, school, and all that is in between. And yes, JS frameworks as well. [Laughs in hidden].

But most notably, the pressure of getting good at something, and the disappointment of falling short on the promise to yourself, can at times leave you with a sense of dread. A sense that maybe trying isn’t worth it, if the outcome remains the same.

I like to tell myself, that after being curious, I should be brave.

For come what may, tainted with the stench of failure and regret, then I hope that my willingness to try might be of some solace.

I am translating it to a tangible deed such as getting good at web dev in general, but what frustrates me the most is that I am not good at being good.

I succumb to impulses that leave me bereft of colour, with a fear of even trying again, if the inheritance of any endeavour under the sun is oblivion.

But I want to try again.

Try to master my craft, and be proud of my work.

Try to be good.

For if greatness was never in store, then goodness will do.
