"A Time I Experienced Failure" Response

A minute ago I completed the prompt four essay assignment and I couldn't be more relieved. It took me about thirty minutes to an hour to get the ball rolling on this essay which really annoyed me. Generally, I can write things pretty quickly (like right now), but when it comes to writing about myself or experiences I absolutely hate it. In the end, writing about a  moment of failure makes me feel better about the topic of choice. It really made me put things into perspective. I realized that my moment of failure happened FIVE YEARS ago and that it is so silly that I am still so effected by it. To many it's a funny story, but to me it was a very traumatic event. In my life, there hasn't been moments of life-altering failures, but that doesn't diminish the impact of other mistakes made. At the time my failure was a big deal, but now it's time for me to laugh at it. I did learn from the mistake I made and I need to let go of the guilt  I continuously put upon myself. It really is ridiculous! I'll just say it on here: in seventh grade I broke the big, new T.V. during an altercation with my brother. The whole story in fact sounds silly and kind of IS, but truthfully it was a hard day for me. I don't think of that failure everyday, but the times people bring it up it has really bothered me inside. Not anymore. From now on I will laugh and be okay. I will always be sorry for breaking the T.V. and I'll always remember the angst of that day. But I will now be lighthearted and think of how foolish I was as a child. I'm very glad I wrote transparently. It definitely was not my intent when I sat in front of this giant computer, but it helped me accept the problem and has undeniably helped me put the past behind me!
The End.
