Into the hornet's nest 🐝
I walk straight into the hornet’s nest.
It’s chaos contrived,
the scaffolding of self,

I’ve learned, the sting
of failure hurts less.
I wrote this when I decided to fail on purpose in the video game I was playing. I realized I was far too terrified to lose that I avoided all conflict (not a great way to win, eh?). So in the dead of night, I went in, and I lost. Again, and again, and again in rapid succession. And guess what? Yep. I started to finally get better.
