    She had been carrying the boulder for so long... she no longer remembered when it was first placed upon her shoulders. She carries it every day. The weight. The silence. The past. Lourdes was chosen to help... but no one told her how. When she's sent to guide an elderly woman burdened by an invisible boulder, Lourdes believes the answer is simple-give her strength, or take the weight away. But some burdens don't work like that. As Lourdes steps deeper into the woman's past, she begins to uncover something far more powerful than pain... A moment. A memory. A beginning. And the truth that some things were never meant to be carried forever. ✨ A story about healing, faith, and finding where it all began. ✨ For anyone who has ever felt weighed down by life.

    What if everything you were taught about truth, morality, and meaning was never absolute? We are living in a time where old beliefs are collapsing-and nothing has replaced them. In that void, most people feel lost. This book is not here to comfort you. It is here to challenge you. To question what you believe. To confront what you avoid. To awaken the part of you that refuses to remain ordinary. The Age of the Self-Made God is not just a philosophy-it is a transformation. The question is not whether you understand it. The question is: Are you ready to become?

    Some stories don't begin with love... and don't end with closure. They live quietly in between - in unsaid words, misunderstood moments, and memories that refuse to fade. One silence that stayed longer than it should have.It was never named. Never confessed. Never fully understood. Yet it stayed - in glances, in pauses, in things left unsaid.

    *Readers who wish to follow the complete story may begin from Lesson 1 "A midnight phone call. A humiliating return. And a home where tiny arms remind Kanu what love still feels like." Thrown out of her marital home after another humiliating night, Kanu returns to Hoshiarpur with her parents. The silence inside the small Maruti 800 is heavier than the storm raging outside. Her parents try to console her. They advise patience, adjustment, endurance - the words most daughters are taught after marriage. But Kanu knows something deeper is wrong. Yet as the gates of her parental home open, two small voices break the heaviness. "Bhuaji aa gaye!" Tiny arms wrap around her, innocent love replacing the bitterness she has just left behind. In that moment, Kanu realizes a painful truth: Sometimes the house you are married into becomes a place of hurt... while the home you were born into remains the only place where your wounds are understood. #LifeInANarcissistFamily #ToxicFamily #NarcissisticAbuse #FamilyDrama #EmotionalSurvival #DaughterInLaw #MarriageReality #BrokenMarriage #FamilyConflict #HiddenPain #Patriarchy #WomenStrength #EmotionalJourney #PsychologicalDrama #TrueStory #IndianFamily #PunjabiFamily #Hoshiarpur #HomeVsHouse #LoveAndPain #FamilyPolitics #HealingJourney #StrongWomen #DomesticReality #WomenResilience Copyright © 2026Renu.

    Still Breathing A nonfiction story about staying when life feels too heavy. This story is not about recovery in a straight line. It is not about becoming strong overnight . And it is not about pretending everything gets better easily. Still Breathing is a first person nonfiction story told through my voice, a voice shaped by depression, anxiety, exhaustion, and the quiet, everyday choice to keep going when life feels unbearable. This books speaks to those who wake up already tired. To those who smile automatically while fighting their own thoughts. To those who don't want to die, but don't know how too keep living either. Through honest reflections, real experiences, and moments many people are afraid to say out loud, Still Breathing explores what is means to survive when your mind becomes the hardest place to live. It talks about the unseen battles--- panic in quiet rooms, loneliness in crowded spaces, the guilt of not feeling "grateful enough," and the pain of being functional while falling apart inside. This is not a guide. This is not a cure. It is a conversation. Along the way, this story gently reminds readers that... You are not weak for struggling. Pain does not need permission to exist. Healing is quiet, slow, and deeply personal. Staying alive on your hardest days is already an act or courage. Still Breathing is for anyone who feels unseen. For anyone who has questioned their worth. For anyone who keeps surviving without knowing how. If you are reading this now, this books does not promise answers. But it promises honestly. It promises understanding. And it promises that, at least here, you are not alone. Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can say is this... I'm still breathing.

    "Pregnant, unseen, and unheard-Kanu struggles to find even a shred of warmth in a household where love has conditions and her voice is stifled at every turn. Will she survive the silent war before it consumes he"? Kanu's mornings began with nausea, chores, and a fresh wave of taunts, each day reminding her that she was an outsider in her own home. Preet, torn between love and fear, longed for peace but found his voice slipping away under his father Anit Singh's shadow-a man who thrived on control and psychological warfare. Even small acts, like tasting Panjiri or cooking a simple meal, turned into scenes of humiliation. Kanu endured in silence, afraid to lose the only support she thought she had. Yet the real question loomed: will Preet ever rise to defend her, or will his voice be completely muzzled by his narcissistic family? _______________________ This is a continuing story-new readers are encouraged to start from Lesson 1. # maritalabuse#narcissistinlaws# memoir#desiinlaws#indianinlaws #truestory#indianwomen#womenwriters#arrangedmarriage#controllingpatre #indianmarriagetruth#emotionalabuse #resilience#narcissticfamily #interferinginlaws#controllinginlaws #truestory#emotionalneflectinmarriage #arrogantinlaws#powergames #manipulatingfamily# Copyright © 2025 Renu.

    Ilang beses ng nasaktan. Ilang beses ng nalunod ang isipan sa malalim na agam-agam. Ilang beses ng lumuha at umiyak ng dahil sa nararamdaman. Umiyak dahil walang mapagsabihan. Lumuha dahil takot na mahusgahan. Kaya't tanging isang pirasong papel at matintang bolpen ang hiniram. Isinulat ang lungkot, galit, poot at kasiyahan. Isinulat sa paraang ako at ang mga nakaranas ng dinanas ko ang makakaunawa at makakalam na ang mga talatang isinulat ay hindi talata lamang. P.S. Hi minna-chin! This is your author/manunulat, Senathren, and I want to make a safe space for everyone who can freely rant about their feelings if they are having a hard times or either good times. As well as to express my feelings and emotions through poems. I hope everyone will engage in this small platform of mine.(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
