No matter being masculine or feminine, being true to yourself matters the most.

I love your point that accepting failure doesn't mean to be fine with it. One is admitting your own weakness and mistakes with courage and trying to grow with resilience. The other is, 'nah, I guess that's my limit' kind of attitude to find excuse for the laziness.

I'm still trying to accepting myself being writing for so long without earning. Though my parents express their supports, the nightmares still remind me of the self-abashment.

Thanks for sharing, especially the last sentence.
