The Weight of Being

We don't talk enough about how heavy it is just to exist.
About waking up tired of yourself.
About loving people you shouldn't.
About carrying pain that no one else sees.
The Weight of Being is not a story - it's a confession carved out of silence.
Twelve fragments of a life collapsing and rebuilding itself through depression, desire, guilt, and small moments of light that somehow keep us breathing.
It's not about healing.
It's about surviving.
It's about the weight,
and the beautiful, unbearable truth of being alive.

Didn't Want to be the Strong One
Some people were never given the choice to fall apart. This is for the ones who smiled when they didn't want to. Who held it together so others didn't have to. Who were told they were "strong" when all they really felt was tired. I Didn't Want to Be the Strong One is a raw, poetic confessional - part journal, part quiet breakdown. There's no plot. Just pages that bleed a little. If you've ever been the one who got through it silently... This one's for you.Complete
Numb
So many things happen in life-pain, loss, confusion, heartbreak-and slowly, we stop feeling. We get tired of hurting, so we go quiet inside. It's not that we don't care anymore, it's just that feeling too much became too heavy. So our heart shuts down to protect us. We smile, we talk, we move through the days, but deep down, everything feels far away. We become numb, not because we want to, but because we needed to survive.Complete
Where the veiled words linger
There is a silence that bleeds heavier than sound. It lingers in the chest, pressing against the ribs until breathing feels like betrayal. These words, locked behind trembling lips, grow sharper with every heartbeat unvoiced confessions, truths swallowed, grief disguised as strength. To keep them hidden feels merciful, yet the weight corrodes from within. Each unspoken syllable becomes a stone, stacking, suffocating, building a wall no one else can see. And still, the mind whispers: If I release them, will they wound? Will they shatter the fragile balance that silence pretends to protect? So they remain unsaid, unformed, festering in the quiet. Grief turns into an echo, sorrow becomes a shadow. The body smiles, nods, moves forward, but the soul aches with the burden of restraint. Because the truth is this: unspoken words are not weightless. They are anchors, dragging deeper into the dark. And sometimes, the silence itself is louder than anything that could ever be spoken. And this is my confession story.
He Bled: Just For Being ✔️
Welcome to HE BLED: JUST FOR BEING This is not a love story. This is a wound - a confession carved from truth, the kind people fear to speak but cannot stop feeling. I am their mirror. A puppet to my emotions, I dance to the pull of survival. Every page bleeds something different - pain, defiance, lessons learned in fire. There is no single plot here, only fragments of life. Each chapter stands alone, yet they all carry the same heartbeat: He bled. Just for being.Complete
