You Are Not A Failure. You Are A Human Being (A Thought On Why We Should 'Fail' In Life)

In this world that we live in, that somehow wants us to always be doing something, achieving everything and to not give up; The idea of not doing something, achieving nothing and giving up is a something that just does not happen.
It is looked down on.
If you are not busy with making your life a better place for yourself, the people around you, the environment, bla bla bla blaaaaaaa (the list goes on forever...) then

YOU ARE A BAD HUMAN BEING WHO IS FAILING AT LIFE!

Which is utter ridiculous.
COMPLETE BULLSHIT.

And unfortunately, indoctrinated into every pore of our fear-infested society.

Look, it is totally okay to not do anything.
It is absolutely fine if you are not achieving at all.
Giving up? Not a problem.

You are not a failure.
You are a human being.
That's it.

By allowing the space to be there to 'fail', you allow space for YOU to come through.
Because to be frank, this fast-paced crazy place that we have decided to make our home, does not take into account that you are unique, have your own ways through which you process all the stuff you come face-to-face with and that every life has a different course.

There lies beauty in fully surrendering to your own timeline, wherein the hardness of life sometimes doesn't fit in.

We are not supposed to live in a bubble of information-diarrhea, feel mountain-like pressure to succeed or have to prove ourselves to any-fucking-one.

The shaky fragile fake pillars that our society is basing all of it's so-called stable backbone on, are falling apart.
Because it is missing the most crucial thing of all.
That this society is here to serve human beings that are ALL different and have a gazillions way to exist and to survive in all the separate and interwined levels.

So I say, a big FUCK YOU, to the wonderously intricate ways society wants me to NOT be myself.
And I just do ME.

And I wish for you the same.

Because there is so much liberation in not giving a fuck about what society wants from you and just living life from your own life parameters.

So go ahead, fail, do nothing, don't go out and work your ass off at a job you absolutely hate.
You'll find your way.
I am pretty damn sure you will.
I know it feels weird and as if you are lost in unknown territory, but you'll be okay.

So from one so-called failure to another, hello!
Let's meet in our magical union of failurism.

BIG love,

Ashley
