On failure.

Sometimes I wonder if I have unintentionally modeled myself after Charlie Brown. He was the cartoon character I related to the most when I was a kid. He was a self-professed loser, always getting knocked down, but always getting our sympathy.

Then again, maybe I already felt that way before ever discovering Charlie Brown, and simply gravitated to him afterwards. Like him, I often feel like I'm a born failure, like failure is my destiny. But why? Why do I feel like a sub-par human being?
