Failure is just a crutch we lean on when we’re too afraid to take risks. If you want peace. I mean, really want it— you have to meet yourself in the dark, alone, when the cold cuts deep and no one is coming. Exhausted. In tears. You just want to give up, go home— but you don’t. You take one more step, then another, and you don’t stop for nothing. That’s where you find your peace.
