Hello lover!
Every day, your love grows in my heart like a tumour. As I sit in this library, I imagine us having a cup of coffee, while I tell you all the things that have been clogging my mind lately; I mean, life, school, work, and the essence of living.
But you know what? Very soon, I will be telling you all these things and I promise you, our love will be renewed just like the old days. Do you remember how it use to be?
[possibly, insert hug]
I graduated from secondary school in 2015, but my result was woefully laced. You know that there’s a difference between I fail and I fail woefully. I majored in E8, D7, and F9 except in subjects that didn’t really matter. This is not to talk down on any course, but there are some that don’t really matter. As I said, I don’t mean to talk down on any subject.
After realizing that my dream for studying Law in 2015 is already sidelined, I began to read all over again. And, again, I wrote WAEC, I failed. By the way, I didn’t gain admission until 2017. Then, I resumed in 2018. I had two and a quarter years at home because I failed.
But during those years, each time I see my results, my heart breaks [and for the information, I never cried. In fact, I eat more] and I ask myself, what next?
My father will edge me on with a joke or two, my mom will never look over the fact that I have wasted another money and years. But during all the periods that I continually fail, I learned one thing - it is okay to fail; after all, failure is evidence that you are trying something new.
You may ask, but you wrote O’ Level thrice, so it’s not new.
Chill.
Back to the 2015 WAEC result, I had F9 in mathematics. So, after I filled for the GCE WAEC in NOV/DEC of the same year, I began to solve mathematics. I was even contending in further mathematics and my result came out, I had A1 in mathematics but failed others. You see, all the whole while, I majored in mathematics, thinking that English Language, Literature and Government [CRS and Yoruba were very simple, I never failed them] are smalls.
But, I banged. At least, with prestige. Now I can boast of once having A1 in mathematics.
If you have ever been with me, one thing you will know is that I don’t chastise for failure, I only chastise if you don’t move on and learn from that failure. Imagine a boy learning to ride a bicycle, then on the first try, he fails but over time as he continues to ride the bicycle, he begins to learn from his mistakes and focus on not making them because he knows that making the same mistake will cost him his health and if unlucky, the bicycle itself.
Remember,
It is okay to fail; but never okay to tussle for kingship in the valley of failure.

Beautiful! An engaging read. Succinct.
Vulnerability really is strength and beauty. This read exhibits that.
Failure should be seen as a clean-slate to ink again.✨❤️
