Sometimes you have to just try things on your own even if you fail because not everything is not going to be handed to you.

People don’t try things because they are afraid that they’ll fail and people would laugh or make fun of them. I think that doesn’t matter because at least I had the courage to try something new and am able to learn from it. I would be able to think about the mistakes that I made and learn what could be done differently the next
