9.

You tried.
It doesn’t matter
that you failed. It doesn’t
matter that this isn’t the first time.
It doesn’t even matter that
it won’t be the last.

Because you tried.
Didn’t you?

You did your best.
Tried your darnedest.
And it still wasn’t enough.
But that doesn’t matter.
Does it?

Forget about the success you once strove for.
Forget about your dreams of making a better world.
Forget about everything you wanted from your future.
Because you tried
and you tried
and tried so. many. times.
and it never worked.

So rest.
Breathe.

Give yourself some space.

And try again tomorrow.
Because for every time you try,
for every time you fail,
try again.
