Letters from the Edge of Trying

🖤 Letters from the Edge of Trying

A zine for the ones who kept breathing, even when it hurt.

By Michael Phillips | REBUILT Publishing

💬 What it is:

A raw, unfiltered zine of emotional letters written in the middle of grief, burnout, survival, and quiet strength.
Each page is a breath held too long. A truth too heavy. A whisper that somehow made it out.

If you’ve ever felt like screaming into silence… this is for you.

📦 What you get:

• 13 titled micro-essays of raw honesty and survival
• 7 black-and-white abstract visuals (typewriters, fog, torn truths)
• A4 printable + digital-ready zine (DOCX & PDF versions)
• “Write Your Own Letter” page to tell your own truth
• Thank you note + bonus download link

💔 For readers navigating:

• Grief and mental exhaustion
• Burnout, isolation, survival mode
• Trauma recovery or emotional numbness
• The blurry space between staying and giving up

🖊️ Sample excerpt:

“Healing doesn’t always look like growth. Sometimes it looks like breathing through the ash and whispering, ‘I’m still here,’ even if no one’s listening.”

💡 Suggested Price: $5+

(Pay what feels fair. No shame, ever.)

🔗 Bonus Content:

Includes bonus wallpapers.

❤️ If this zine speaks to you—

Share it. Print it. Leave it in waiting rooms. Give it to someone who’s surviving in silence.

You’re not alone. And that matters more than you know.
