Synopsis

The Weight of the Norm is a piercing exploration of modern life, where appearances weigh heavier than truth, and survival often demands a mask. Through five interconnected chapters, the book journeys from the performative glow of social media to the quiet resilience of the human spirit. • In The Performer’s Cage, the spotlight of digital perfection exposes the hidden cracks of exhaustion and emptiness. • The Judas Kiss delves into the subtle, corrosive betrayals that reshape friendships and trust. • The Hunger Games of the Street paints the harsh reality of economic survival, where dignity and scarcity wrestle daily. • The Masked Ball uncovers the suffocating performance of professionalism, where ambition trades authenticity for acceptance. • Finally, in The Unbroken Flame, the narrative rises from the ruins of disillusionment into defiant hope, reminding us that resilience is both rebellion and survival. With sharp prose and unflinching honesty, this book examines the invisible battles of belonging, betrayal, and endurance in a society that demands perfection yet thrives on fragility. The Weight of the Norm asks: what happens when we stop performing and start truly living?
