Success is more than just the completion of a set goal.
Success is when you can see someone you used to love and not feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest,
Success is when you accept the fact that you can move on from someone without feeling like you need to curl into a ball and cry until you fall asleep,
Success is when you know that you may not have the person you want, but in the end it will work out for the best.
There are more than just successful ways of living,
And many of them revolve around success stories fought through the battle of love--the toughest and most difficult trials and errors one may ever face--
So yes, you successfully completed that assignment, and maybe even that paper
But you will also feel success when you see the boy with those beautiful blue eyes, and not feel like you are still drowning inside of them.
