Bygones

I started swimming when I was 4 years old. I used to love art, I had a way with colours. I used to sing and write songs. I was good at maths and won awards for chemistry. The things I used to be good at, I did not develop those skills and they slowly faded away. Bygones. If only I were my own parent, I would've nurtured my child to pursue all my interests. I would tell my child that it is okay to fail and in fact there is no failing, just experiences that enrich your life.
