try and try again.
I have an interview in 3 hours for a full time graduate job, and I should be getting ready, but I can't help but need to write something down.
My coworker's friend's ex boyfriend just killed himself last weekend.
Every death is tragic, especially when someone took his own life. This inevitably reminds me of the 3 deaths that happened to my classmates in high school. Two died of accidents, and one died of murder.
And then I just thought, how fragile life is.
I'm sure all of us have had moments in our lives when we just want to give up and think that life is nothing but an endless challenge and that we are tired of living. There are just so much pain, rejection and bad things just seem to happen one after another and we feel like no one cares and no one understands.
I think about the trifles that tied me down for the past 2 months, too much school work, no money, no prospect of future, rejection from job applications, relationship problems and so on. But really, nothing is the end of the world, and these things should never be the end of someone's life. Everyday we breathe, we are trying to live. But with every try, we will get rejections and it's part of life. But no one really fails. To fail is to give up, if you give up then life will no longer exist. But meaning to life only exists if you live, try and try again. Life will always have a meaning as long as you are living. So don't give up because you think life has no meaning. It's a cliche to say that life is short, but life is short. The inevitable truth is, no one will really remember us when we die. 10 years later, 20 years later, or 50 years later. So why be afraid to embrace life? Why would we be afraid to go after something, or someone that we really want? Rejection is not scary, it is through rejection that we find our own path.
Don't be discouraged. Try and try again.
