In everyone’s life, there are events after which you think happiness will never happen. Ahead is only darkness, and blows keep falling on you one after another—until you’re already at the very bottom. How do you get out of this nightmare? How to return to a normal life? Where to find the strength not to give up?
The author reaches out to the listener with a firm friendly hand and leads them by pointing to herself from the past—at all her mistakes and successes; at thoughts that, as she believed, were terrifying and “wrong.” And also at small joys that people in their own tragedy often don’t notice, but which are precisely what bring us back to life.
