We grow up being told success is college and a career and stability and a family and a white picket fence and a house and all that, but especially these days, you look around and there's a stark reality present: hurdles abound.

A lot of people leave HS and go out seeking what they thought they wanted, only to find many years later that it's a dead end. That shit happens, sometimes it's one's midlife crisis.
There's only the present that we have control over, so try not to worry about what the future holds.

But note that what you currently think of as failure, you may come to look back upon and not see it as such.
