You are stronger and braver than most. You can get over this temporary setback.
When you say things like this I think of Rudyard Kipling's If. And then I think you are able to say "Yes I do that." to so many of his Ifs.
You certainly ace the "fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds ' worth of distance run".
Another piece of poetry comes to mind Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

@being Thank you. I didn't like literature lessons at school but as I get older I appreciate it (well some of it) more and more. Relating a poem lets me say things more powerfully than I can do on my own.

@ninalanyon yes... that's the power of art... A song, a poem, an image.. they contain information ✨
