Telling the only girl I've ever really loved that I loved her.

I don't know why I tell this here. Maybe because I just finished reading The Perks of being a wallflower and there this passage where Sam told Charlie that he has to do things. I wished I did things.

So people, better be sorry for a chance you took and turned wrong than regret not acting at all. I guess that's what I learned

Practically my entire life has been a non stop failure, although I pick myself each time because there is no other way to move forward...

Topic of my life.

I've failed at so many things in life that it saddens me. Have I succeeded I could've been so much more. Then again I remember the sayings "Worry about the future, forget the past" and from football "We All We Got, We All We Need". It reminds me that there is still life going on and your choices shape that life in the future.

One of the biggest failures was school. Even though I have my HS Diploma I could've studied harder and achieved better grades, I could've continued the struggle and attended harder classes to defy my mental self. I also regret a lot in sports. I quit wrestling 3 times in HS which burdens me continuously because it could've shaped me more into an athlete than I am now and build my integrity higher for the Martials Arts I practice now.

Generally I just wish I can change it all. Be a better me and see what I could possibly do in life. I regret spending so much money on things I never really kept for that long thinking I'd enjoy it for the rest of my life. Emotionally it hurts and it hurts just as bad as love, but I like the hurting. It gives me the energy I need to continue. I love the pain. If I didn't have that pain and I were to be a complete success what would strive me to continue?

That is a question of my life.

Every girl I've actually liked and asked out has rejected the offer. It's made me not care about rejection and I'm not afraid to speak to anybody really, even if they find my personality awkward. It's also made me uninterested in a love life.

Lost my best friend. He's kind of doing badly in life now through bad decisions, and always was a pessimist. He was kind of a toxic punk, but I dunno, I figured that would end some time. That friendship made me a lot harsher/assertive on friends I ever fight with.

All in all, I have failed in having close personal relationships with anybody. I succeed in anything I set my mind to, except when it comes to others who are close or I try to get closer. I'm a king of casual acquaintance relationships, but can't be close to anyone.

I failed my chemistry test in university but it only made me want to work even harder. If you have never failed then you haven't tried anything new.

Education wise:

1). Chemistry
2). Geography

Life wise:

1). I can't get a job.

Failed Mathematics (rarely happens nowadays, made up for it with lots of hard work) and somewhat Science (I more specifically hate chemistry, so I'm not losing anything when I say I don't do well in it). I've also failed to be a good friend in the past on a few occasions, and it still really bothers me how I could be like that. I'd say that's pretty much it.

I guess I sometimes fail maths since it is the harder level in my school. I'm pretty good at the normal level maths though. I sometimes fail chemistry, though I like it. English is the worst though. I'm also failing my current goals. The biggest thing I fail at is my people skills, I get told that all the time, especially by teachers.
But I guess we learn from our mistakes to become better people...

I failed my personal fitness class back when I was a Sophomore in high school.
