I have a lot of fears. One of them is the fear of failing. I hate to wake up one day and realize that I have failed in life. Never. That is something I won't want to happen.

But I have no control of what's going to happen. Everything changed when I reached my last year in my master's. While I was so busy doing my research paper, I for got one important thing. I forgot that I have a little sister who needs my presence.

Our parents died in a car accident. From then on, being the eldest, I acted as her mom and dad. She was young. All my dreams were for her and myself. While I was busy with school stuff, I forgot her. I canceled our usual weekend trips.

I guess she felt I've changed. Well, she did. She told me about it when she confronted me. From that time on, I felt I failed. I failed her. I failed being the older sis that I used to be to her.

I felt bad about it but thankfully, she understood. We were able to patch things up. Now, if there's one thing that I am thankful for about that instance, that is, I was able to conquer my fear to fail. I realized, I am not and could never be perfect.
