"It's a good thing you failed to be a mother because you suck at it." These were the harsh words House threw at Dr. Cuddy's face in the last episode I saw. And very timely for me too as I just realized I am a devastating failure.
I don't know about you but I've been told more than a million times that I can't win them all. I've never been more certain in my life that the phrase "You can't win them all." really is for losers. Think about it, when you've lost everything, there really is nothing left but stupid, unhelpful words. Right now, all that I've got to hold on to is the idea that I can't win them all.
I failed because I suck. I am a loser. Call me proud, call me arrogant, call me whatever you want, but I've always thought that I would forever and always succeed. Failure was never an option for me. Recent events have proven me wrong. I can fail. I will fail. And maybe I will fail at everything. That's what's waiting for me out there, I think - more and more and still more failure.
I've crossed over to the other side. I've said farewell to startling yet amazing grades. I've kissed my future in perfectly wonderful universities goodbye. In our lives, there always comes this single moment when we have to
settle. This is that moment.
Come to think of it, numbers don't matter. So what if I didn't get the highest that there was to get? My life isn't measured by how well I know my math. Or how wonderfully I construct my sentences. It's about what I make of myself. Right?
Oh god. I even sound like a loser. Oh right. That's because I
am a loser. Yup. *checks self* Loser.
*cries*

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
