Coping with Failure and Moving Forward

As much as I love sharing my success and happiness with you I also need to share my failures and disappointments. I recently failed at my second attempt to interview my favorite actor. 


This situation made me sadder than I expected as now I realize that my blog which I have been working on for over four years isn't good enough to host this sort of interview.


To make this situation more heartbreaking for me, I failed at my attempt to meet him at a premiere in London. I traveled all the way from Egypt hoping that maybe if I met him I would change his mind about the interview, I didn't even get close to him.


This might sound silly to many of my readers, but based on this experience I will need to change my goals about making this blog bigger and doing interviews. Also, I will have to disconnect myself from all my favorite actor's work, so I won't be reminded of my failures.


I'm doing my best not to blame myself and I won't stop posting on my blog as I won't let this failure, no matter how impactcful it is, erase everything that I achieved over the years.


My sadness wanted me to delete my blog and deactivate my social media, but I won't allow what happened to make me self-sabotage, it's easy to do this but I'm not that weak anymore.


At least I embraced my own strength after this experience, I see the progress of my healing journey, something like this could have broken the old me, but my current me will continue in her path even with a heavy heart.
