You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default. And in fact, it takes only a split second for life to go horribly wrong. To fix the mess, I need a thousand things to go right. The distance from one bit of luck to the next feels as great as the distance across oceans. As something completely out of grasp. Something so far above my current gutter than any ascension is nearly impossible. But, I decided in this moment, I will bridge that distance, again and again, until I win. I will not fail.
