In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,38Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Hr4SDB0C
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.38Please respect copyright.PENANAjoMnZ6OLF5
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,38Please respect copyright.PENANAwR1fEvjpVc
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,38Please respect copyright.PENANAE98IJSUWgH
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.38Please respect copyright.PENANAQDqVgFwytL
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:38Please respect copyright.PENANAbxveCOjjA0
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—38Please respect copyright.PENANANLsURgfHNz
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.38Please respect copyright.PENANA48PDT7T3mu
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;38Please respect copyright.PENANAjeGpzTi8Na
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,38Please respect copyright.PENANA1dlerfyapX
Measure not the distance from the shore,38Please respect copyright.PENANASAIkwhiXAR
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—38Please respect copyright.PENANAEmBLIhL2vV
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.38Please respect copyright.PENANAWPAEKCueJy
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.38Please respect copyright.PENANAb2pPnsNcZ3
We are all unfinished stories,38Please respect copyright.PENANAEuytxvWB7O
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
