This is far from a self-help book or biography work. Why? because I will not be helping you in any way, shape or form, and nobody actually wants to hear about my life. Failing Millennial is a place to rejoice, cry, relate and feel. Millennials are overworked, underestimated, overeducated and underemployed; and that my friends really sucks. In high school the possibilities seemed to never end and now you can't even decide if you want an Americano or a regular drip coffee, let alone your life path. We have everything and nothing in front of us at the same damn time and somehow we need to figure it all out. We need to get back up each time we are knocked down, we need to break the walls that have stopped those who tried before, we need to achieve greatness and break barriers. The pressure is on. We need to get a job, get a spouse, settle down, have kids, build an empire, run a marathon all the while in reality it can be a daily struggle to even put on pants. Because we are lazy millennials? No. Because we had the blessing and the curse to be born in this era of in-betweens where even going to university doesn't guarantee a job, being a woman doesn't guarantee our equal treatment, the color of your skin still matters and who you love or how you dress is the topic of conversation. You can agree or disagree, we all have different experiences and opinions. I am simply sharing mine.

Esme Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage. Tanner I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant. Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together. Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child. The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after. So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes. What had I done? I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.
