Losing, not Lost

I write this post from what I find to be the most difficult sort of existence. 
Stuck in a never ending suspension of success over failure. 

I'm not scared to fail. 
Failure and I have actually become pretty good friends. 
And I've learned a lot from him. 

Except maybe, how to succeed. 
I've really only learned newer and more innovative ways to fail it seems. 

This is the point in life where nothing seems to go right. 
Rejection has become my other close friend 
And to be honest I don't think I remember what an open door looks like. 

As I threw myself at pity party at my new residence, 666 Rock Bottom, 
A friend imparted some wisdom that resinated with me. 

"What you're going through right now may seem rough, but it's only temporary. You'll find your way out, and one day you're going to look back at this and laugh. You'll laugh because you thought at this moment your problems couldn't be any worse, but you'll be dealing with far worse things. Only you won't just be dealing with them, you'll be conquering them." 

Though these words interrupted my party, 
I found it was what I needed to be reminded of. 

Whatever life situation I find myself in, 
Can be as permanent or temporary as I decide. 

So please excuse the lack of decor here at 666 Rock Bottom. 
I don't plan on staying here too long.
