What defines us is how well we rise after falling.

The past three weeks I've been totally tense, nervous, over my head worried about everything. I wish I could say that it was as simple as a bad day, or all the darkness and coldness and everything else that accompanies the Swedish winter. It could be that, but mostly it's the whole "I-have-to-get-a-drivers-license-situation".

It all started with this stupid idea I've got in my head, that at the age of 23, I simply have some "To-do's" on my To-do-list that have to be done. Travel is a big part, but I also have more grown-up things, such as get a drivers license and get brave enough to go to University. Yesterday, I actually came half way with the license part, I passed the theoretical part of the license, today was the big day that I've feared, like for ever.
A small part of me, thought that I could actually do it, but most of the time I doubted myself. I ended up failing today thanks to a silly mistake, but I reckon that my lack of confidence played it's part.
It sucks, and failure is one of the worst feelings I know, but at the same time, I'm realizing that even tough it feels as if My world has gone under, the real world actually hasn't. I've cried, over and over again, thought everything trough, step by step, asked myself how I could be so stupid to make such a mistake. Well, I'm human, and there's no use for a  pitty-party for myself, it's time to let go and focus on doing my best. I simply have to convince myself that I'm gonna kicka ass next time, cuz' YES, there is a next time, the world did not go under.
