Those Thoughts by Fried Potato https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev Getting those thoughts out. en-us 2018-04-17 12:05:47 UTC 2025-09-29 05:38:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Send.png Failure FriedPotato https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev/wish/252526917 I was raised in the type of family who believed that being the best is equivalent to being first place. Every simple activity turned into a competition. Failure had never really been an option.

Yet, I grew up. I faced different challenges, problems I never even knew existed. And I failed. There was never any time for shock because the feeling of disappointing yourself and your entire family prevented it. It hurt in ways I could never have imagined before. And that was it, I just stopped. I grew afraid to try new things, turning away from new interests. Because the thought of making another mistake ate at my mind. I fell into this trap and I lost myself, lost myself in self hatred and loathing and maybe I'll sink even further. Down towards the endless abyss of despair, where no one can reach me. Will I finally be able to find peace?

But there are days when I refuse let failure control me. Refusing to lose myself in this despair. Thoughts like "I will not hinder myself no longer" run through my mind and they give me strength. I know that I am not perfect and I'll never be. But I'm me and I just need to learn to love myself a bit more...

At least, that's what I try to believe.]]> 2018-04-17 12:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev/wish/252526917 FriedPotato https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev/wish/252542055 I'm a cowardly child who hides behind a mask of strength. ]]> 2018-04-17 12:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev/wish/252542055 Torn FriedPotato https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev/wish/252988994 What do you do if you had to pick between two things? First choice makes you feel safer while the other choice is what your entire family wants for you? Would you choose to protect yourself? Or would you protect the relationship you have with your family? ]]> 2018-04-18 13:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/FriedPotato/6hb7u4g26rev/wish/252988994
