🙏 The Weight Of Almosts - Projects, People, & Paths Never Completed
Some things don’t fail.
They almost happen.
The Weight of Almosts explores the emotional aftermath of unfinished projects, relationships that never fully formed, and life paths that were started—but not completed.
This ebook is about the quiet heaviness of what could have been.
The ideas you shelved.
The people who mattered but never stayed.
The versions of yourself that felt close enough to touch, yet never arrived.
Inside, you’ll explore:
• Why unfinished things linger longer than endings
• The guilt and shame attached to abandoned projects
• Almost-relationships and the grief no one validates
• Career paths and creative dreams left halfway
• Mourning versions of yourself that never fully existed
• Learning how to let go without erasing meaning
Written with honesty and emotional depth, this book doesn’t rush closure or offer easy answers. It gives language to a feeling many carry but rarely name.
This is not a guide on how to “move on.”
It’s an acknowledgment of what it costs to almost make it — and how to make peace with the path you took.
If you’ve ever looked back and wondered:
“What if I had kept going?”
This book is for you.
