  What constitutes failure?  Does it mean you failed by someone else’s standards or does it mean you failed yourself?  Is failure always bad?

  Failure

  I failed last week. 
  I didn’t make it into the school I wanted to go to. 
  I didn’t even get an interview. 
  It’s the first instance I can think of when I truly felt that I didn’t succeed or at least “pass”. 
  I flat out got rejected. 
  Maybe it’s the rejection that bothers me. 
  I don’t really ever get rejected,
  probably because I have never pursued anything that I didn’t think I could get.
  And I really thought I would get this. 
  Maybe it’s because I had doubts.
  Maybe it’s because they didn’t like me.
  Or maybe it was meant to happen this way.
  Either way, I’m glad I don’t have to be perfect.
  I’m glad that I don’t have to burden myself with trying to live up to expectations.
  I hate expectations.
  It only leads to failure.
