Behind the Weight is a powerful and deeply human guide for every breadwinner who wakes up each day carrying responsibilities heavier than their own dreams. Written in a raw, emotional, and validating voice, this book speaks to those who give endlessly-often silently-while hiding their fatigue behind a brave face the world rarely acknowledges. In these pages, you will find yourself seen. This book dives into the quiet battles breadwinners fight: the pressure to always be strong, the guilt of wanting rest, the fear of failing when people depend on you, the invisible exhaustion, the quiet breakdowns, and the constant balancing between love and responsibility. Each chapter offers comfort, clarity, and gentle strength-reminding you that your feelings are valid, your struggles are real, and your story matters. Behind the Weight is not a book that tells you to "just be strong." It is a book that sits beside you, holds your tired heart, and says: "Pagod ka, pero hindi ka nag-iisa. At kahit pagod ka, hindi ibig sabihin kulang ka." Whether you are the eldest child, the default provider, the silent warrior of your family, or someone who had to grow up too fast - this book will remind you of something you may have forgotten: You deserve understanding. You deserve rest. And you are more than the weight you carry. A companion for difficult days and a reminder on the easier ones, Behind the Weight is a heartfelt tribute to the courage of every breadwinner who chooses to keep going... even when stopping feels easier.

Have you experienced being torn between two choices? Some say, it's easy because you can easily choose the thing that your heart screams. While others say, it's not a piece of cake because it's like about choosing a practical decision that will make you a survivor from a war. Pero paano kung mahirap pumili dahil parehong isinisigaw ng puso ang dalawang pagpipilian? Via, a bubbly girl from Santa Dalia, a church girl, and an NBSB, easily believes in love at first sight upon laying her eyes on the strict and seem-to-be stoic altar-server, Laxus, from another Sitio during the first novena mass in their Sitio. Pagkatapos mapagtanto sa sarili ang kaniyang nararamdaman, mas lalo lamang itong lumago lalo na nang gumawa ang tadhana ng paraan para magtagpo ang landas nilang dalawa. Laxus Bryle, a man of God who has a strong and deep spiritual connection with God has slowly found himself falling in love with her despite the urge to stop it because of his promise and because of a single truth that could ruin her heart. In the end, they find themselves building a strong relationship. However, their happiness is always a short while. Via discovered his dream to become a priest in the future. Laxus, on the other hand, became devastated upon being torn in between of the choices, thinking that his dream to serve God eternally was unwavering before Via came into his life. Unfortunately, his heart is screaming for the two choices. Will he be able to choose the woman that he loves or the dream that he's been wanting to achieve ever since he was a kid? --- DISCLAIMER: This story is written in taglish.
