Almostenough Stories

She was never the favorite. Never the first choice. But she always tried-even when it hurt. This is the story about giving too much and learning when to choose yourself .

"Almost Enough" by uwishlady Sierra Lane was supposed to be the top of her class. The golden girl. The one with the color-coded planner and Ivy League dreams. But somewhere between late-night study sessions, sky-high expectations, and the silent pressure to be perfect-something cracked. Now, Sierra's falling behind in ways no one can see. The grades are slipping. The confidence is fading. And the mask she wears every day is starting to suffocate her. In a school full of overachievers and under-the-radar breakdowns, Sierra's not the only one struggling. Her best friend is unraveling behind straight A's. Her classmates are hiding their pain in sarcasm, silence, or art. Everyone's pretending, and no one is saying the truth out loud. This isn't a story about falling apart. It's about what happens when you realize you already have. For anyone who's ever felt like they're drowning in the deep end of "almost."
