Bouncing Back


Today for the first time I realized there was not such a thing as bouncing back. Who ever designed the idea that people have to bounce back should have limited himself to sports journalism, preferably gymnastics.

But it's there: some unsaid consensus expects you to bounce back after whatever major annoyance has come your way. If you don't return to normal you are like a grain of sand halting an entire well oiled mechanism. Or so you think.

Radiotherapy every day for 5 weeks has a way of getting to your soul, delivering encrypted messages, which require time to be unraveled and deciphered.

I am not sure I am ready to bounce back yet.
