Is Failure Permanent?
There it was — my worst fear. It was time to make a choice.
Hi there, creators.
It wasn’t so long ago that I was writing and publishing regular articles on Medium. I was drunk on the high of it, loved interacting with other writers and readers every day, and was seeing a good return on my efforts.
Then something happened.
It’s hard to pin down what it was. A big part of it was that I moved across the country in late October. Going from California to Virginia was a big change, and I didn’t give myself enough time to adjust. The rapid shift in not only the location but the weather, my daily schedule, and my sleeping patterns took their toll.
I spent almost all of November sick.
But this isn’t a story about everything that’s gone wrong. I write these articles to learn from my experiences, and in doing so, I hope that you will learn something as well.
Your pain becomes your purpose. — Evan Carmichael
The pain of moving. The pain of seeing something that I cared so deeply about wither away. The pain of regret, and the pain of wondering what could have been.
Is it too late to salvage things?
