YOU ARE MUCH MUCH MORE THAN THIS EXAM!

A message to one of my closest friends and many others who might not have qualified prelims and were in their last attempt:

YOU ARE MUCH MUCH MORE THAN THIS EXAM!

I cannot even begin to imagine your pain, your sadness and even your anger. You're definitely allowed to feel angry, towards the exam, the process, the mechanism, even towards God but definitely not to yourself!

You gave your best, you did everything you could and there was nothing more you could have done! You gave it your all, you sacrificed a lot and you're definitely allowed to feel angry!

But what you need right now is to be kind! Please be kind to yourself! Please understand that everyone around you is very very proud of you that you persisted! Everyone around you including your family, your mentor and your friends are super proud of you for the way you've sailed through this journey! And that is what matters!

I know these words might mean nothing right now as the scar runs deep, but please try to pat yourself on the back rather than thinking otherwise because you were truly and genuinely deserving!

Life definitely has bigger and better plans for you! At this time, just try to take one moment at a time and believe that your future is bright! Truly truly bright!💫
