They Tried to Erase Me. Instead, I Built This.
đ About Genius Fool
Genius Fool is a home for the broken, the reinvented, and those walking through the wilderness of shame, silence, and rebirth.
It was born in the ashes of my public downfallânot as a brand, but as a whisper in the dark. A need to write again. To speak again. To survive what nearly consumed me.
Iâm Slaven VujiÄ â once praised, then judged. Once a builder of stories, then buried by one. I created Genius Fool not to fix the past⊠but to tell the truth of what it feels like to fall â and rise.
đ What Youâll Find Here
Genius Fool is built around scrolls â poetic reflections written during my darkest hours. Some are raw and painful. Others carry hope like a flickering ember.
- đ Scrolls from the Ashes â The story of downfall, wandering, and fragile rising.
- đż When All Other Lights Go Out â Wisdom and healing drawn from Middle-earth, written for the broken-hearted.
- đ Fall & Rising â My personal story, told through memoir and memory.
- đ§ Reflections â Comeback codes, insights, and mindset tools for those rebuilding their lives.
This is not a blog. Itâs not therapy. Itâs not self-help. It’s a self-story.
Itâs a campfire in the dark â and if youâre here, maybe youâve been walking a long time.
đ„ Why âGenius Foolâ?
I was once called a genius â for the stories I created, the things I built.
Then I was called a fool â for how I fell.
I believed both.
Genius Fool is a name for those whoâve soared and shattered.
It holds the paradox: that brilliance and failure can exist in the same soul.
That weâre not the worst thing weâve done.
That the story doesnât end in the fire.
