You had the apps. You had the streaks. You had the YouTube tabs open at midnight, the notes, the vocab lists, the good intentions.
And today? You still can't hold a conversation without getting uncomfortable.
That's not failure. That's what happens when effort goes into a system that was never built to get you anywhere.
Streaks are not fluency. Progress bars are not conversations. A year of almost isn't a year that counts.
But here's the thing about time: it passes either way. |
