So I was thinking
Everyone tells you to fail and try again and fail better and whatnot
But are you allowed to fail emotionally?
I feel people don't pat you on the back and be like hey, you'll get back up, you won't hurt people so much next time, it's ok everyone fails - its the only way to grow!
Somehow we're all supposed to be magically good at relating to people from the get go and thus end up in ideal marriage with A+ kids.
If i have children i will stretch them.
They will be gods.
