In The Pivot, Taylor Ericsen Wrice shares his powerful story of navigating misjudgment, disappointment, and being constantly misunderstood. From his days on the football field to working in government at the Pentagon, Wrice's journey wasn't defined by smooth paths but by hard pivots and unexpected turns. Through resilience, persistence, and the ability to shift his mindset, he transformed setbacks into stepping stones. The Pivot isn't just a story of survival-it's a testament to the power of embracing change and finding success in the most unlikely scenarios.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

That Pivotal Moment by shaylamariam

Book 1 | Completed | My name is Hayden Price. I'm an eighteen-year-old senior in high school. Oh, and I'm the quarterback of the football team. My life has been basically mapped out since before I was born. Since my dad couldn't make it to the NFL due to an injury, his dream became my dream. He's been grooming me ever since my 3rd birthday. He put a football in my hands and BAM. Dream. Set. Match. It was all going according to plan for me. I was enjoying my life, partying, meeting girls, and planning my future as an NFL player. Then on the first day of my senior year, I woke up and something was...different. No, not something. EVERYTHING. Suddenly I was questioning what I wanted my life to be. I didn't feel the same. Then, there it was. That pivotal moment....when I saw her.

COURSE CORRECT by TracyClarkTLC

Every day, you're headed somewhere and a mistake that many people make is in NOT asking: Am I headed in a direction I really want to go? I believe you know that in some aspects of your life, you're off course and you want help getting on track. You don't have to feel lost or frustrated anymore and you don't have to navigate the path to change alone. In fact, you're not alone. I'm right here with you as your Pilot in Command and I'm so excited to take this journey with you. Course Correction began as a way to get my own life on track to where I truly wanted to go. It worked for me and I'm going to share with you exactly what I did. You're going to learn how to:  Get crystal clear about your desired destination.  Assess the areas where you are currently off-course, and then...  MAP out a plan to chart a course toward fulfilling your goals and dreams The best part, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. This program is designed to be personalized, with the aim of helping YOU navigate toward your personal goals and your unique highest potential. Each and every one of us has a vision of our very best self and our very best life and I believe there's a reason for that. Beyond the details like what you do for a living, what professional letters or labels you put next to your name, what you create, or who you love, you are here to express the highest vision of who you are. That is your true calling. Very often, unhappiness is due to the gulf between who we are and who we most want to be. In doing this course, you narrow that gulf and feel the sense of pride and accomplishment of working toward your true happiness. The modules are designed to take you step-by-step through this program and I've included lots of fun bonuses and extras to help you. Your success is going to be greatly determined by your engagement and commitment to doing the work. But you're ready to fly, aren't you?

Being the difference I want to see in the world. by JeremieThevisionary

As sad as it may be, we live in a world where the rich are getting richer, and the poor live in worse conditions every day. A world where people have to live behind masks and hide who they truly are, just to be accepted into this corrupted society. A world where everyone primarily thinks of himself and not about what he could to help his brother in need? Dive into my vision, be bold enough to read these chapters, and accept that you may have also been committing these mistakes that corrupt our society and together, let us grow into better versions of ourselves and begin to wonder; what if this had happened to me? How would I have reacted? What can I do to change my community? What if I decide to manifest my dreams every day instead of wishing they would happen? Every single part of this will be entirely unique but all interconnected by one subject, "the human nature". Only together can we change the world, don't be so lazy to think that it is the government's job to do so; take your responsibilities and act to see a change.

I'll always remember us | ✔️ by author_jxsmine

growing up and growing apart sometimes people who really love you have to leave you for your own good and it's okay to grow apart holding on to things that hurt isn't a wise choice They broke up in college but now are forced into an arranged marriage Will the sparks fly again or........ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Wrong place, wrong time, wrong people, right man Surrounded with unfortunate events, unfortunate people Those slim waists, slim faces, long hair and long nails Those long legs, large hands, fluffy hair and beaded bracelets They don't belong together last days, best times, red hands and playing fights Social priorities, diwali parties, arm wrestling and life stories That's the closure I needed Searching the crows, you stand tall, stand out Walking out of that building with hurt hands and burnt minds scholar badge, scholar board, Council badges and red coats brown pants,white shirts, black shoes and red ties Sprawling crowds, yellow buses, red rickshaws and black cycles ice cream man, Mother Dairy, white vans and red lights Saw you walking on the footpath with rolled up sleeves with few friends I wouldn't wish I would be there I couldn't wish I could be there Could you be specific who do you like?

$The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED} by Dami_A_Johnson$

The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André Gide

Kentucky Kaleidoscope by Angela107247

My family is not descended from royalty. We have nothing of consequence nor of large value. We are not incredible. Nor are we ordinary. And we are not strikingly dull. We are who we are. We are off and sometimes normal. We are you. Sometimes we are no one. We are alone. And on occasion not so alone. Our story is unique. Our story is our own. Our story could be your story. You will understand what it is to be us. You'll understand what is to scream within your mind. If you can relate then keep reading. If you can not relate I suggest for you keep reading. Maybe you'll find us curious. A kaleidoscope of colors. Abstract and disorienting to the eye.
