"Failure."

Been one since I was born. It's a comfortable identity, but it comes with a terrible cost. No, I'm not fishing for compliments so let's just STFU about that but it's so easy to believe that your every setback is a result of your fundamental inability to ever amount to anything. Also, your fellow failures never hassle you for what you haven't accomplished.

Some identities we're born into and spend a lifetime escaping.
