A spread of colorful dishes lies before me. Banh mi buns, marinated meats, vegetables to grill, aromatic herbs. Fresh coconuts galore. It’s the end of my first week in Vietnam and I find myself in Da Lat, a smaller city whose cool climate is an oasis amidst the humidity. My past few days have been filled with mountain biking in the hills and running alongside the lake.
I can totally relate, the sense of failure can be all consuming. You have to avoid that chasm. Find any positive, apply any possible learning which can be done, and move on to the next adventure/challenge/opportunity, because time is limited, and if you take too long to regain your ground and get moving forward again (whatever that means for you), you'll only realize when you do how much time you had wasted. You'll just think "why didn't I do this sooner".
We often are afraid to vulnerably share our failures because we're afraid of being judged. Truthfully, some people may judge, but those aren't the type of people you want to be surrounded by anyway.
People who are curious about your experience: how you handled it and how you grew are the ones you want to be surrounded by. Being blunt and honest about your failure is the perfect litmus test.
