Success

The term success never sat correctly with me. It felt out of place, like a puzzle whose last piece didn’t fit.

Success was always an excuse told to small children as a way to inspire them. As a way of saying: You can do anything. However, I don’t think that success is the correct word.

Manipulative, practice, lies, hardship. These words work better.

Success to me is a trait.

A characteristic.

Failure is shameful, that’s what we have been taught for years.

Success is expected of you, that is what we have been taught.
