The stressors change shape. The scenery shifts. The years pass.
And yet… the cycle remains.
Pain becomes numbness; numbness becomes apathy; apathy becomes isolation. The familiar darkness returns wearing a different face, carrying a different name, but persists in prodding at the “why” of life.
This piece is an intimate reflection on suffering, repetitious pain, and the uneasy possibility that what keeps returning may be presenting lessons yet unlearned.
