The Man Who Failed 27 Times. AI-Generated.
When people see success, they rarely see the graveyard beneath it. They don’t see the unanswered emails. The ignored phone calls. The polite rejections that sound kind but feel like doors closing quietly in your face.

My Morning Secret
Nobody knew I was waking up at 5:30 AM. Not my roommate who thought I was still the person who hit snooze seven times. Not my coworkers who saw me arrive at 9 AM looking like I'd rolled out of bed ten minutes earlier. Not even my best friend who knew almost everything about me.

I Learned to Laugh So No One Would Ask Questions
I didn’t always laugh because something was funny. Sometimes, I laughed because silence felt dangerous. It started subtly. A smile here. A chuckle there. A light joke to smooth an uncomfortable moment. Laughter became my reflex, my shield, my way of steering conversations away from places I wasn’t ready to explore. People like laughter. It reassures them. It tells them everything is fine—even when it isn’t.

Quiet Firing
I kept reading all these stories about “quiet firing” and then it happened to me. I lived it every single day I came to work; yeah, I later realized that I was a DEI hire. I kept wondering why they hired me in the first place and then it dawned on me, dummy you were a political hire! The social isolation was deafening. It was so loud I couldn’t hear it or maybe didn’t want to believe it was true. I would awaken everyday depressed and with dread going to work among people I knew hated or intensely disliked me but wore a fake smile like a warm blanket on their faces almost every day. Sometimes they let the fake grin slip, and I caught sight of their true feelings. Wow, they thought they were great actors…not. I saw right through it all and that is why I never trusted them or let myself get too close. I did not want to get burned or feel like a fool. I still worked my butt off, often coming home exhausted.

My Simple Joy Formula
I was crying in the grocery store parking lot when I realized something had to change. Not because anything terrible had happened. Actually, everything looked fine on paper. Good job. Nice apartment. Loving family. Healthy body. All the pieces were there.
