You can't say you're living when you live in constant fear, But since I was a coward, I always lived in constant fear, Afraid that the world wouldn't recognize my worth, that I would fall behind my peers, and that I would be rejected, I ended up taking my own life due to this fear before my life could even blossom. I only realize after dying that life itself was an opportunity, and the pain that I thought engulfed my whole life was only a small part of it. A clear day. A rainy day. A windy day. I learned that life was made up of these different days. And that it was okay to fail as long as I kept going. -choi yee jae.
