The Weight of Becoming. (COMPLETE)

On his twenty first birthday a young man begins writing in a notebook.

At first it is only meant to survive another year.

A place for thoughts nobody hears.

A place for apologies nobody asked for.

A place for grief too heavy to carry alone.

Over the course of eleven months he writes about childhood memories family expectations loneliness first failures old dreams comic books video games heartbreak self hatred and the quiet fear that he was never meant to become anything at all.

What begins as a diary slowly becomes something else.

A conversation.

A confession.

A story.

Not about saving the world.

Not about becoming extraordinary.

But about learning how to stay alive long enough to meet the person waiting on the other side of pain.

Told through poetry journal entries and personal reflections

The Weight of Becoming follows one year in the life of a boy who spent most of his life apologizing for existing.

And the man he slowly becomes when he finally stops.
