After the Scroll: A Soft Survival Story in a Digital World

By Katiesville

What happens when the screen goes dark and you're left alone with your thoughts?

This is a book about that moment and all the invisible battles that come before and after.

Blending memoir, poetry, digital reflection, and healing wisdom, After the Scroll is a raw and tender offering for anyone trying to make sense of themselves in a world that never stops scrolling. Written by a survivor and a soft soul navigating trauma, technology, and the quiet courage it takes to stay alive, this book is a balm for the lonely, a mirror for the overwhelmed, and a gentle companion for the in-between.

Each chapter is short, honest, and soul-deep, meant to be read in stolen moments or long exhales. Whether you're healing from something heavy, feeling emotionally scattered, or simply trying to come back to yourself, this book meets you where you are.

Inside you'll find:

Reflections on digital burnout, hyper-visibility, and emotional exhaustion

Soft survival stories told with unflinching honesty

Notes on grief, boundaries, dissociation, and coming home to your body

Quiet affirmations for the days you feel invisible

A final letter for when you’re ready to begin again

And optional journal prompts to help you feel more seen

This isn’t a “how to heal” guide. It’s a “you’re not alone” reminder.
