29 parts Complete MatureMae has spent years holding herself together, until she can't anymore. A gifted illustrator, she's always found solace in her art, but burnout, anxiety, and the ghosts of childhood trauma leave her untethered. Quitting her job and retreating into isolation, Mae convinces herself that silence is safer. That disappearing is easier.
But when the weight becomes unbearable, she takes a shaky first step into therapy, opening a door she's long kept shut. What follows is raw, messy, and achingly real. Through painful conversations, unspoken memories, and fragile moments of courage, Mae begins to unravel the truths she's buried about her past, her family, and the harsh voice inside her head.
Along the way, she rediscovers the quiet power of old friendships, unexpected connection, and the art that once felt lost to her. Slowly, her story shifts, not toward perfection, but toward presence. Toward staying.
Told with tenderness and poetic insight, The Weight of Blue Skies is a portrait of falling apart and finding the strength to rise, piece by piece, into a life that finally feels like home. It is not about being fixed, it is about being real. About surviving. About choosing to stay.
