Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
Let me start with something uncomfortable. You might not want to hear this, but some of the decisions you’ve made — the paths you’ve walked, the people you’ve chased, the dreams you’ve paused — weren’t really your choices.

But Life? Life made sure I learned them. I used to believe school had all the answers. I mean—we sit in classrooms for years, memorizing formulas, chasing grades, and trying to please people who hold red pens and final say. If you listen, follow directions, work hard, and color inside the lines, you win... right?
I used to chase success like a dog chases a car. Loud. Desperate. Blind. Success — that golden dream — always felt just one step away. One more late night. One more sacrifice. One more "yes sir" to someone I didn’t even respect. I told myself I had to hustle harder, grind longer, push through.
There was a moment — or maybe a blur of moments — where everything I thought I wanted crumbled in front of me. You know that quiet, heavy kind of failure that doesn’t make headlines but shakes your insides? Yeah, that kind.
Let me get one thing straight from the jump: I didn’t wake up one day and magically become “that person.” You know the type. 5 a.m. workouts. Protein shakes. Laser-focused goals. Bullet journal. Gratitude lists. Crushing life with a smile.
Ninety days ago, I was stuck in the strangest kind of lost. Not the I missed the bus and don't know where I am kind. Worse.
No one plans to lose their fire. You don’t just wake up one morning and say, "Yeah… today feels like a good day to give up on everything I once cared about."
I never planned to hit rock bottom. Nobody does. It crept up on me—slow, quiet, like fog filling a room. At first, I didn’t notice. I was busy. You know, doing “life.” Chasing deadlines, answering texts I didn’t want to answer, smiling in group photos that felt... fake.
You ever look back and think, “Wow… I really thought I had it all figured out”? Yeah. Same here. Truth is, I’ve made a mess of things more times than I care to admit. And while I wouldn’t wish some of those lows on anyone, I also wouldn’t trade them — because every single one taught me something I couldn’t have learned any other way. Pain was the teacher. Growth was the homework.
Some books entertain. Others inform. But a rare few… transform you. The Undiscovered Manuscript belongs to that last category.

Have you ever done nothing at all yet still felt mentally worn out? As if your mind were under an invisible burden that you sense with each breath?

I used to wake up like I was sprinting into a fire. No exaggeration. Eyes barely open, mind already racing: What did I miss? Who needs me? Why do I feel behind before I’ve even started?
