Glad you enjoyed this piece Antara! The fact that this piece resonates with people kind of makes me sad — to think that there are so many talented young people full of potential self-handicapping themselves because they are scared to look/feel ignorant… it’s a shame. I think young people need more encouragement now more than ever — they need to learn that their failures now will teach them valuable lessons rather than identify their failures with their self-worth. People only need a change in perspective — the more we fail, the more we learn, and ultimately the better we will inevitably become.
