I found myself relating very well to the following quote by Silent Star Louise Brooks.

"I have been taking stock of my 50 years since I left Wichita. How I have existed fills me with horror for I failed in everything. Spelling, arithmetic, writing, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, singing, acting, wife, mistress, whore, friend, even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of not trying. I tried with all my heart. "

Louise Brooks, Looking for Lulu (1998)

Yes, I've been a disappointment to all too. Love Louise Brooks.
