Historias de Burnout

Paris is quiet, but Marinette isn't at ease. When vigilance turns into fear, the butterfly begins to circle closer than ever. Even Ladybug may not see the danger until it's too late. (I do not take credit for any artwork used for this story - all images were found on Pinterest)

A collection of the journey from work life to PURPOSE.

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.

Wrapped in a web of confusion, a teenage girl struggles to navigate the complicated layers of her life. Torn between past memories and present reality, she finds herself unable to make the "right" decisions. Her deep desire for the one person she values most leaves her restless and searching for answers. This is a raw look at "friend-sickness," the weight of an unforgettable past, and the bittersweet struggle of a girl standing on the edge.

[EDITED] Burnt out and grieving her grandmother's passing, 29-year-old Adelina "Lina" Salazar leaves the city to return to her hometown and her grandmother's closed bakery. With no baking skills and a weary heart, she struggles at first, but the townsfolk who step through her doors soon offer more than support-they give her genuine connection and hope. ‎ ‎Through their warmth, Lina rediscovers a life beyond ambition, learning that sometimes the heart only needs to rest, remember, and be still. And one morning, she pulls a tray from the oven and sees it-the bread has finally turned golden.

I'm tired y'all.

There is such a thing as golden handcuffs. She thought she had it all - a great job, a healthy paycheque, a condo she loved, and this was going to be her year where the rest of her life was going to fall into place and her practically perfect life would finally match her Pinterest board. But one email changed all of that and she suddenly became a little too valuable at work. And her year of prioritising herself slowly gets consumed by repetitive zoom calls, updating decks, and team meetings where she is every team member. Trying to stay ahead of her endless to do list, she finds solace in her Notes app and in her office is unofficial crying room. This is a story of a woman who is just a little too good at her job learning how to survive when she is the last one standing

The dining room was busy. Orders kept coming in. From the outside, everything looked fine. But every month, the numbers told a different story. This isn't about bad food or empty tables. It's about the quiet gap between working hard and actually making money - and the moment I realized effort wasn't the problem.

don't bully my wild side, this is my furry outlet. i love me. i love drake

Aurie Suarez looks like she has everything figured out. Online, her life is carefully curated - soft smiles, morning skies, coffee cups, and captions about growth and gratitude. She's admired, praised, and envied. People tell her she's strong. Successful. Lucky. But between the likes and the silence, Aurie is quietly falling apart. Behind closed doors are unanswered questions, crushing expectations, and a loneliness she doesn't know how to explain-let alone admit. Every "I'm okay" is a lie she's learned to say too well. Every post hides a truth she's terrified to share. As the pressure builds and the cracks begin to show, Aurie is faced with a choice: keep living as the version of herself everyone loves, or risk losing everything by finally being honest. Between Likes and Silence is a story about invisible struggles, the weight of pretending, and what happens when being seen online doesn't mean being known at all.

Healing isn't pretty. But hiding it hurts more. No Filter is a story written without masks, without pretending, without the fake "I'm fine" everyone expects. It's the raw, unfiltered reality of a mind that's trying to survive every single day a mind that shakes, overthinks, breaks, gets back up, and breaks again. It's waking up and feeling heavy before the day even starts. It's staring at your room, knowing you can't clean it, and hating yourself for it anyway. It's forgetting messages because fear takes over your body. It's scrolling through life, trying to find something to hold onto. It's the quiet kind of pain the one nobody sees, because you learned to hide it too well. This story isn't polished. It isn't pretty. It isn't romanticized. It's real. And if you're reading this, maybe you've felt this kind of heaviness too. No Filter is for the ones who feel too much, love too hard, break silently, and still show up the next day. You're not alone here.
