Some days, I stumble on the edge of hope,
and the ground feels softer than I expected—
less a fall, more a gentle slide
into what I didn’t quite know I was carrying.

Failure doesn’t shout; it whispers softly,
a quiet reminder that even broken things
can find a way to hold light again.
It’s in the small cracks where new words grow.

I’ve learned to greet my mistakes
like old friends who’ve stayed too long—
not to turn away, but to listen
and see what they want to teach me.

Life is a series of imperfect attempts,
each one a step—sometimes stumbling,
sometimes standing still,
but always moving, always learning.

And in the end, failure is just
the soil where resilience takes root,
the quiet, patient ground
that makes space for something new.
