Dear Failure

Dear Failure, Watch as the morning shadows dance upon our faces, while I seek answers in the silence between heartbeats, where my desires and yours intersect like two waves, and in their depths, I wish to find a moment of peace. I propose a silent truce, an understanding between two weary souls, to sit at the edge of time, watching the day weave its story, without rushing toward another uncertain end, but savoring the present moment, where failure becomes just a lesson of self-love. Consider all the times you were an uninvited teacher, and I, a reluctant student, yet willing to learn from your shadows, for your true power is not in the fall you bring, but in the rise that follows, in the courage to begin anew. Dear Failure, I invite you to remain just a temporary guest, a traveling companion reminding me that imperfection is human, and that in your darkness lie the stars guiding us to a new day, where each sunrise promises a personal victory, small and silent. With every breath, I learn to embrace you not as an enemy, but as an incognito friend, pushing me toward my true self, for in your impermanence, I find the strength to redefine myself, and in your silence, I hear the call to shine beyond limits. So, dear Failure, I remain yours sincerely, but I ask for a pause, a moment to breathe, to look into the mirror of destiny and truly see ourselves, as two parts of the same story written without end.
