Failure Stories

This record compiles observations of how a modernizing island nation lost its ability to function during wartime. Rather than a single cause or responsible party, collapse is shown as the accumulation of failures: orders not reaching the front, approvals stagnating, decisions not reflected in reality, information being simplified, and records going missing. The final authority was partially aware that decisions were not fully implemented, but outcomes are not judged. The document describes not why the state fell, but how it was observed across different domains.

She looked strong to the world. A girl who smiled softly, who walked with quiet grace, who seemed unshaken no matter what storms raged around her. Everyone thought she was fine, perhaps even perfect in her silence. But no one knew the truth. Behind the calm face was a fragile soul, introverted and innocent, who carried the weight of invisible wounds. She understood everyone, yet no one understood her. She loved with all her heart, yet felt unloved in return. Every night she told herself the same thing: "𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳." And at her lowest, she wished to disappear forever. Yet life does not let go so easily. When she was ready to end everything, destiny placed an unexpected hand in her path. Not a rescuer, not a savior just a presence who became her mirror, her support, her reason to keep breathing. Through betrayal and trust, silence and confessions, rejection and love, she walked a painful journey. And in the end, she discovered something no one could give her: the strength to embrace her own heart. This is not just the story of pain. It is the story of breaking and healing, of being invisible and finally being seen, of falling into the deepest dark and rising again. It is the journey from 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦... 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴. "𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲."

They called me a failure. School, friends, even life itself - everything seemed stacked against me. But this isn't just another sad story. This is about how a so-called loser turned his downfall into a rise, one choice at a time. It's messy, it's raw, and it's real. Welcome to The Failure's Victory.

My dad is the football coach of Elwood High. He's won nearly every single game for every year he has worked there. He's muscular, intelligent and popular. He had everything. Then, well then, he had me. I was supposed to be the kid with the skills to match his. Maybe even exceed his own. But I am the last person you would find outside on the field. Or any game if I am being honest. So to say the least I'm a disappointment to my father. So much, I don't even think he thinks as me as his child. He is always throwing these subtle hints my way about how I'm too thin or how much he would love to have more players on the team. I would play sports if I could-believe me. But I'm just not into athletics like my father wants me to be. Plus, I have this odd tendency to screw up everything I touch. Which is how I got into this mess to begin with. It started when I spilled coffee all over the football quarterback-Derek Williams. He's a nice guy-for a football player. But I absolutely hate him with every fiber of my being. If there was one thing my father wanted from his son-well it would be all of him. He's athletic, smart, good looking, and funny. You don't get much better than that. And my father tells me. Everyday. But here comes another problem. I'm gay and my father doesn't know. He would probably hate me, or blame my non-athleticism on some stupid stereotype on my sexuality. No, hiding this from my dad was never really issue. I was good at keeping secrets, probably better than I should have been. The issue you may ask? Well his name was Derek. The very guy I resented, just so happened to have his own dirty little secret. ___________________ Copyright. © 5upernatura1 2014. All rights reserved.

He's a burnt-out genius who stopped believing in magic. She's a dreamer who's forgotten how to hope. When Bang Chan and Elle Choi make a quiet vulnerability pact-to meet once a week and be brutally honest with each other-they never expect those hours to slowly change everything...

She was the daughter they lost. She became the woman they never saw coming. Six-year-old Ava Elwood vanished during a glittering summer fair, leaving behind a shattered family and a legacy of grief. Years later, she returns-not as the fragile girl they remember, but as Aria: a self-made billionaire, fierce, untouchable, and hiding the truth behind a crescent-shaped birthmark. The Elwoods had moved on. They adopted Elise, a perfect replacement, a princess in pearls. But when Aria reclaims her place, Elise begins to unravel everything with lies, manipulation, and a dangerous game of victimhood. Punished by the very family that once mourned her, Aria walks away-with her CEO boyfriend Ryan, her beloved grandmother Margaret, and an empire she built from ashes. But when the truth explodes and Elise's mask falls, the Elwoods want her back. Too late. Because this heiress isn't just lost. She's reborn.

A story of shattered plans, subtle glances, and the quiet ache of growing up. Clarissa Reyes had her life mapped out-every grade, every goal, every expectation, perfectly aligned like a blueprint. She was the girl who never failed, never questioned, never asked for more. But everything shifts when college hits harder than expected, when one subject nearly breaks her, and when Axel-an old rival from a high school math competition-reappears in her life, quieter, different, and unexpectedly comforting. What begins as a crack in her perfect world slowly unravels the version of herself she thought she had to be. In between deadlines, disappointments, and quiet moments shared with someone who finally sees her beyond the medals, Clari begins to wonder who she really is beneath the pressure. Because sometimes, the real story doesn't begin with winning-but with falling, and choosing to rise differently. Note: I don't own the photo in the cover. Credits to the artist from pinterest.

I never expected to get swallowed up by my closet. Then again I never expected there to be other dimensions either. I guess we'll find out what's behind the doors together.

A team of friends tries to figure out the mystery behind the recent happenings in their town. It is the fifth year of Millrose college on the southern campus. With their two principals and countless issues, they seem to resolve it in the final vote that determines the future of the college. The phenomenals not only face this but also the tridoms - the alphas and the stallions - and themselves - not breaking apart with their ever-growing inner conflicts. _read.and.support_ -&thankyou-

As much as I love writing fiction, sometimes I need to get the pressure of existence off of my chest, and when I do, I turn to poetry. This particular collection of poetry was inspired by the poem ":34 or :54," which appears halfway through the collection. I decided to expand upon the ideas and themes presented in the poem by creating not just one poem to go with it, but a whole collection. This collection of poetry focuses on various events that occurred throughout my track season, or even just thoughts that I had during it. I hope that you enjoy getting a little bit of insight into how I view the world!

They called him gifted. They never taught him how to fall. When life broke him, Anish retreated into a basement, living like a hikikomori-hidden, ashamed, forgotten. This is the quiet tragedy of a boy who tried to shine too brightly.

After a month, Catherine will be in search of him. After days of searching, Catherine found Cohen, but it was too late. On the day she learned it was him, it was also the day of Cohen's lavish wedding to his long-time fiancee, Sandria. Distressed, she walked away and thought about herself. She told about it to her parents. It was not easy for Catherine as they pressured her to get married as soon as possible or else abort the unborn child. She couldn't tell them she became pregnant because of a one-night stand and not because of her boyfriend. In some turn of events, Catherine finds herself marrying her ex-boyfriend to save her family from the humiliation of society. Little did she know it was the starting point of her life in hell. Cohen and Catherine's paths will cross again after five years, which will further complicate their situation.
