A Story About Success And Failures
#WritcoStoryPrompt60
Was there a point in your life that you wanted to stop, quit, and leave everything behind just to disappear to the point of changing and hiding your identity?
We all have experienced extreme disappointment at some point of our life.A depressing phase in life when we wished, we just somehow disappeared and everything would change back to how it was with snap of fingers like a fantasy movie.When hope seamed bleak and storms were at the peak.I had faced such a situation when I performed not so well in my Intermediate of science annual exams.I wished every friends & realatives who knew about me somehow forgot me like a bad dream.I hid from the whole world and enclosed myself in my own little space.I was so disappointed with myself that I even wanted to end my life at some point.Thanks to God for having supportive parents I didn't take any such steps.A lot of people had high expectations on me and I had let all of them down that was feeling I had back then.Every moment I lived felt like a internal struggle.I suddenly lost interest in all the things I loved.My parents who were worried about me told me ,"Failure and success both are part of life,you should accept both of them and move on,life is too short to repent on things and be depressed,try again and learn from your failures instead of regretting over the dead past envison and plan ahead for a brighter future".These words somewhat seemed to breathe a new life to me.I knew now however dark the night might be it was not the end.The sun rises again from the horizon again.I started to take my heart and senses back and started again.It was hard process to convince myself to not be depressed but I managed it with bit of support from parents and friends.The dim light that was burning in me as hope began to burn brightly than ever with the fuel of persistence.
