Set against the ebb and flow of a coastal town, The Depth We Carry follows her journey of healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
Through tentative friendships, moments of raw vulnerability, and the slow reclaiming of her creative spirit, Lena learns that true strength isn't about erasing the past but walking alongside it.

The Weight We Carry by hagilyforever

Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.

BOUND (1 of 3) by toxmaxdox

Arabella Christensen has always known how to survive. Raised in the wreckage of a broken home and trapped in a cycle of addiction, Bella has learned to keep her heart locked behind sarcasm, ink-stained skin, and a lifetime of bad decisions. She's used to the ache, the chaos, the pull of men who promise everything and leave her emptier than before. Then, there's Dylan Barrett. Her best friend. Her what-if. A tattooed twenty-something with too much charm, too many secrets, and a heart that beats louder than he'll admit. Dylan is all mystery and rough edges, but he's someone who sees her when she can barely look at herself. Someone who stays, even when she gives him every reason not to. As Bella fights to stay clean and build a future that doesn't burn her alive, she finds herself caught between the man who's always had her heart, the past that refuses to let go, and the terrifying possibility that love might not be a lie after all. In a world where survival has always meant staying untouchable, can Bella learn to be held? Raw, emotional, and deeply human, Bound is the first book in a gripping character-driven trilogy about trauma, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to let go-even when everything else does.

The Weight of Breathing by EmberTong

Every breath carries a story. Some are shallow, fleeting. Others are heavy - filled with memories, pain, and the quiet will to keep going. When life begins to lose its rhythm, when exhaustion settles deep into the bones, one girl must learn what it truly means to be alive - not just to survive. Through illness, recovery, and rediscovery, The Weight of Breathing unravels the delicate thread between body and soul, showing how health is not only about the heart that beats, but the reasons it keeps beating. This story reflects on the fragility of the human body and the quiet resilience hidden within everyday life. It's a journey through stillness, breath, and healing - and a reminder that sometimes, the smallest inhale can change everything.

It's about what pain couldn't take-hope, identity, and the courage to keep going. Told through stillness, strength, and soft moments of prayer, What the Pain Couldn't Take is a story of healing for anyone who's ever felt broken, tired, or left behind.

It's fine, I am fine! by OliviaRavenwhere

A not-so-random encounter with a guy at the gym is exactly what she needs for her book and, unexpectedly, for way more... Twenty-nine-year-old Max works at a military base. He meets Lena at the gym and accepts a peculiar offer only because he thinks she is cute. Little did he know that Lena could be significantly more than that.

Stolen Heart by TheFallenHeir

Some heartbreaks don't just hurt-they change you. In a world where love was supposed to be safe, she was betrayed by the two people she trusted most. What began as passion ended in a wreckage of lies, broken promises, and a heart shattered beyond recognition. Now, she's no longer the naive girl who believed in forever. She's a survivor, piecing herself back together from the ashes of what they destroyed. But when trust is stolen and love turns to vengeance, one question remains: Can a stolen heart ever truly heal?

The Soul Collector's Oath by Shebastarr

At twenty-three, Althea feels like the world has turned its back on her. Orphaned young and raised by her ailing grandmother, she carries the weight of rejection after rejection, each failed job application a reminder of her dwindling hope. All she wants is one chance - one reason to believe her persistence matters. But when an accident shatters her first day of work, Althea awakens in a realm beyond death. There, she is confronted by the God of Death himself, who reveals that her cries for help have been heard - not by fate, but by him. Faced with the horrifying truth of her own mangled body, Althea is given a choice: Accept judgment like every other soul, risking eternal punishment... Or swear an oath as a Soul Collector, a Grim Reaper tasked with guiding the dead to their final fate. Haunted, terrified, yet desperate to protect her grandmother and cling to life, Althea accepts the offer. Reborn into a double existence - one as an ordinary woman, the other as a reaper bound to death - she must navigate the weight of her new responsibility. But being chosen is not a blessing. Dark spirits lurk at the edges of her vision. The line between the living and the dead grows thin. And the oath she has taken binds her to secrets that could consume her soul. In a world where every choice tips the scale between life and death, Althea must learn that survival is no longer about finding a job - it's about keeping her humanity while serving the God of Death himself.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths by TheMantra

They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.
