Nothing but a failure...

Put this down as a weird reason for hope, but I think people really underestimate the utility and value of sometimes fucking things up.

An example: When I was younger, I in some ways majorly fucked up a situation with a friend, when I was trying to be there for him, but I was in over my head. It ended the friendship. But you know what, that fuckup saved so much of my mental health, because that friendship was really manipulative and bad for me, and I needed out.

Sometimes fucking up is the only way out of a bad situation. Sometimes all you can do is hit your limits, and come what may. Mentally, physically, socially, sensorily, fatigue-ily, whatever it may be.

We can't just do it all - and sometimes fucking up is the only way we know where that line is.

Imperfection isn't always a flaw - sometimes it's a feature.

Anyway, try to not be so hard on yourself for your failures. You never know what they might have saved you from.

Sometimes failure is your body's or your self's only way of asserting its needs. So have some extra self-compassion today.

Genuinely happened to me and my friend earlier today (well, yesterday; it’s literally twelve where I’m at) in our discord group chat, so everybody thank the resident leprechaun for failing this bad xD
