the burn book.
written & silently screamed into a pillow by: sam lowe
trigger warning & disclosure:
if you came for sunshine & rainbows,
hit the back button now.
inside: trauma talk, abuse receipts, rage, grief, dark-humor coping, and the occasional middle-finger emoji.
âšđđ»âš
this is me navigating co-conspired collapse solo.
what this is (and what it isnât)
personal narrative â first-person feelings, not sworn testimony.
strategic catharsis â my brain-dump, not a how-to manual, legal brief, or universal truth.
protected speech â opinion + lived experience, shielded by the First Amendment & anti-SLAPP statutes.
read if you choose.
and potentially, kindlyâfuck off.

(thoughts i donât say out loud because theyâre true and thereforeâŠmean.)
â sprinting toward a boyfriend who wonât slow-jog to a ringâfull joker parade, confetti included.
â no, i donât think youâre hotâhit the gym, hit a vegetable, idk...man.
â baby, itâs weirdâright? how your side-girl still obsessively refreshes my feed while simultaneously flunking self-respect 101âremedial clown hours.
â noâyeah, letting kids get abused on your watch, willingly and knowinglyâŠmakes you a bad mom. no footnotes, no sympathy credits.
â babe, youâre sobbing over the walmart-wife starter pack while her legal husband sleeps next to her in the double-wide. next channel.
â bro, i donât need your sad-boy trauma powerpointâcan you even google âhow to ask a question?â no slow clap.
â your sonâs not misunderstood, maâheâs incompetent. stop bubble-wrapping his spinelessness.
â dream girl? please. you raw-dogged her in the backseat while your babymama grew your spawn. gold star for trash.
â wild that you pitched âletâs make a familyâ then bolted like a toddler who heard the word âbedtime.â talk about babydaddy speed-run to ghost-mode.
â your entire travel life âarcâ was my summer filler episode in 2015. skip.
â all that hype and your dick still stutteredâarenât you thirty? book a doctor, seek help. no, itâs not normal.
â never volunteered for the mouth-to-soft-serve rescue. hard pass. abort mission.
â youâd crucify a woman for outdated-recycled-gym-thirst-traps, yet you rolled in serving santa-belly beta. update the files, jesus christ.
â jealousy isnât a personality, babeâitâs giving incognito stalker with push alerts on. get a hobby.
â him? hubby folklore: absentee babydaddy, wants a wife to bankroll his broke-boy fantasies. comeback tour cancelled.
â insecure over a single-mom law student escaping dv? weird flex. seek therapy, not my socials.

for legal reasons, this is a vibe.
consider this your character development arc. youâre welcome.
