Failure? ... Or not?

The inevitable, what was doomed for failure from the very beginning... a marriage, job, relationship- any venture, these, your broken dreams... Things that you entered into either confused, reluctant lost and resigned, or were you enthusiastic, headstrong? And, the " I told you sos." and, " You're smarter than that." followed by your own self- guilt. But no, this is " experience" after all, ( a "lesson") and you've emerged, survived - a metamorphosis surely, reborn as a phoenix rising from mere ash. So no, do not chalk things up as regret- give it closure, and then... move on.
