Perseverance Stories

She was fine. At least, that's what she kept telling everyone. Until her body forced her to stop. Lina has spent her whole life putting others first-family, work, expectations. But when a sudden health scare shakes everything, she's left with a truth she can't ignore: she doesn't know how to take care of herself. What follows isn't a perfect transformation-but a real, messy journey of burnout, boundaries, and learning that choosing yourself isn't selfish... it's survival. Because sometimes, the moment that changes everything... is the one that makes you finally pay attention.

"Go! Just... go okay?!" As she miserably forced me out and slammed the door before me, the gentle breeze the door made upon the faint collision, bracing my forehead. Tears began streaming from her eyes and she fought desperately to keep them back, like the last droplets of water to reluctantly seap from a tap. My heart sank, ripping apart as it did. I hated seeing her like this, hated whenever we fought, hated how I was always at fault... How'd I get here? I promised myself I wouldn't fall, not again... not ever. What has become of that? She's the first person since... well, "my past" that has been able to break down the prison walls I had built, and force her way into the bunker I had buried my heart in. She's the first person to actually tolerate the desolate state in which she found my heart. First person not to run away at the sight of it's frozen, shattered, hurt core. She picked up the broken pieces and took her time to put them back together, no matter how sharp they were or how much they sliced and jabbed at her, no matter how much I try to destroy her... I knew I didn't have another heated argument in me today, so I braced for the stairs... as my fingers graced the smooth, steel skin of the rails, I turned back, like two opposite poles of a magnet the force of our attraction reeling me back in. Hesistating to knock at her door again, I pushed it wide open and let myself in. She had been waiting for me, tears still running down her face, despite her rigorous attempts to stop them. I couldn't do it, I couldn't just give up like that, we've come too far... *Undergoing updates and editing*

When you fall asleep, you find yourself aboard a train. Rumor has it, if you make it to the engine, the Driver will grant your deepest wish. A Stand-Alone Story

What if the problem was never the world - but you? The Loser's Manual is not a guide to success. It is a raw, honest account of what happens before it - the failed attempts, the unfinished dreams, the weight of expectations, and the quiet persistence that refuses to die. Marcos grows up believing he is meant for something more. He learns fast, dreams big, and starts over countless times - but never seems to arrive anywhere. Between childhood frustrations, unstable paths, and the pressure to become "someone," he builds a life shaped as much by effort as by interruption. Until one moment changes everything: a writing competition that forces him to confront not only others, but himself. This is not a story about being the best. It is about not stopping. About falling short - and continuing anyway.
