poets in a coffee house

to me, failure is permanent, but the scars left on our hearts do not define us. this is not meant in a negative way. they shape us and make us stronger. failure is the first step to growth. without hardship, there is no success. even if there is no hardship, the success is not nearly as meaningful. failure is often regarded as negative, but it is the catalyst for transformation and building resilience. i have used introspection to learn and understand myself, often considering the arduous failures i have faced and the steps to growth i’ve taken. failure teaches us to persevere in the face of adversity. failure humbles us. transformation is about the journey; the destination forever changes.
