What if life forces you to live moments you don't want to live?

What if every second of those

moments reminds you of not living up to others’ expectations? What if society's judgment
suffocates you? A never-ending series of these questions persisted after I made that one decision.
That decision reshaped my perception of how beautiful life is. People feel failures as depressing,
but it fills me with hope. Sometimes, failures are the best source of changing the perspective of
looking at things. If I were given the same option today to change my decision, I would continue
to opt for a gap year.

Since life is a blend of different phases, each with its simplicity and complications. Each phase
refines one’s ideas, thoughts, and perspectives. A gap year is that phase which demonstrates
one’s ability to make decisions in uncertain moments." Standing firm in stance despite societal
pressure demonstrates courage and strength, which I learned in tough times. I captured the
wind that whisper the sound of success in my ears. It is important to understand that
commitment is magic.

Rudyard Kipling said:

if you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;   
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
.

. If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
