Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Learning to Bleed and Rise
---
Rejection was the first enemy Favour met.
When her work was turned down, the pain was sharp and unforgettable. She cried, wondering if she had been foolish to believe she could be a writer. But deep inside, something whispered: "You are not done. You are not finished."
She tried again. And again.
Then one day, it happened — verification. A small sign on the screen, yet it felt like the world was saying: You are seen.
On one unforgettable Sunday, with tears streaming down her face, Favour placed her entire savings on the altar — not out of pride, but hope. Hope that her efforts were not in vain.
She fell in ranking — from second… to third… to fifth. She cried again.
But she did not quit. She worked harder than she ever had. And for the first time in her life, Favour reached first place.
She had never been first in anything before.
And in that moment, she realized the fight was worth every tear… but the next battle was just beginning.
