“The arena” has been turned into a meme because of Chamath P and other VCs that kind of denigrated it, but I do quite like the quote…

You’re in the arena with a sword in your hand. They’re in the stands with a biscuit in theirs.

You tried. I’m sure you worked hard (well, I presume you did). You can take solace in the fact that you at least had the guts to try and stick with it for as long as you did. Entrepreneurship is a series of daily battles. Most people never even try or quit after the first few failures in battle.
