Finding Alaska

Sometimes someone or something affects us deeply and we think we will never be able to forget. After a trauma we remember it every second of every day and then after long the first full day when we forget to remember, then the first week, then the first month keeps adding distance. Eventually the intense feeling also becomes a memory.

When it feels like life can't go on, it is important to know that it is possible to put it all back together. Way out of the labyrinth need not be only straight and fast, but realizing that labyrinth is not choking, but it just is, may ease the pressure. There is help if we ask for it. It maybe true that we cry, laugh, love and live less as years pass by and apathy, despair and some of those which were not in the dictionary in earlier part of the life replace them. Time heals and like those wounds which pains during some winters, some may smolder over the years. But nothing should or can maim us for life. Or that should be the belief that can take us far.
