mess up verb

Sería una pena si una buena idea como esta fracasara en su primer intento. Otra gente no podría usarla después.
It would be a pity if a good idea like this was messed up at the first attempt and other people couldn't use it afterwards.

Ava era la mujer de su vida, únicamente había transitado por ella, y él se había quedado solo en el muelle, con el peso de su culpabilidad, encadenado por el vínculo conyugal, inmovilizado por el miedo. Le quedaba, pues, su arte para no fracasar en todo.
Ava had been the love of his life, and she’d just passed him by, leaving him stuck on the docks, weighted down with guilt and chained by his conjugal bonds, frozen in fear. The only thing he hadn’t messed up in his life was his art.
