If you can't do anything else well, you can always be you better than anyone else can.
One can’t be exceptionally well at everything, let alone perfect, but above all, one can always be the perfect mess that they naturally are. Its not failure when all you can be is true to yourself and that you don’t meet the rules of the game, the standard of someone’s expectations, or even the rigid opinions of the institutions of the status quo.
If anyone’s not going to except you for EVERYTHING that you are naturally, then they don’t deserve to enjoy any part of you. Tolerate those who can tolerate you, but don’t ever compromise yourself at the expense of your happiness.
Individuality is an illusion, if not a side effect of contribution to society.
Be what you can freely give to the benefit of another and not the expectations of many.
