Dear World,

Standard

Why are you so tireless in reminding me that I can’t do anything right?

I hardly ever, hardly ever ask you for anything, yet still, when I do, you don’t deem me fit for it. I’ve been working hard, haven’t I? I’ve been doing the work. I really have. I’ve not been cheating. I’ve been reading, I’ve been sleeping right, I’ve been researching… I’ve been doing all I can and still, still, I fail.

I always thought that the only reason I was a failure was because I never cared about anything enough and that I never gave enough effort. But now that I gave all I can, I still couldn’t succeed. I must’ve just been deluding myself that if I worked hard, I could be like the others. The truth is that even if I work hard, the best I can hope for is to be “satisfactory”.

That’s what they call it officially, but I know what it means. It means mediocre. It means not good enough. It means Stop kidding yourself and accept the fact that no matter what you do, you’re a stupid loser.

Thanks World. Thanks a lot.

Ida likes to travel, but is too shy to talk to strangers. She also doesn't drive, doesn't have a lot of money, doesn't know any martial arts, and she doesn't have many friends who like traveling as much as she does. Still, she tries. And this blog, although more of a writing exercise than an actual serious travel blog, will hopefully help her come out of her shell.
