These designs are in their flop era. 

A flop era is something that everyone has to go through, no matter who they are. None of us are immune to it in the end, nor should we be, because they teach us everything. Nothing like a mistake to cast into relief all the times you did something right. These designs take a page out of that book and take that lesson to heart. Things don't always work out, and that's okay. We may have been attached to a certain outcome, and it didn't come to pass, and that can hurt. Maybe you were really rooting for your team to play in the baseball World Series, and it didn't work out. That can sting; I get it. But the problem was with the expectation in the first place. As a wise drag queen once said, "Expectations are just premeditated resentments." You can't sit around hanging your hat on something to work out just the way you thought it would because you want it to.
