VOLUME I – OPEN VOLUME I
“We look for closure the way we look for a door to close.
We want to weld shut that chapter in our life.
We want to walk away from a memory.
We want to wash our hands of the past.
But what seems to be the most logical paths to closure
Are in fact often the most futile paths that lead to
Absolutely no closure at all.”
VOLUME II – OPEN VOLUME II
“Closures are matters of the heart, not of the head.
Closure does not work in a linear way, or abide by the laws of time.
It is true, there is a saying that “time heals all wounds”.
But time does not truly “heal” wounds.
Time merely dulls the pain,
and puts the distance between
the old memories and the new memories farther and father apart.”
VOLUME III – OPEN VOLUME III
“I grew up steeped in emotional invalidation.
Some call it emotional abuse.
Whatever it is called,
it is like poisonous leech that drained away my
life blood of joy.
I felt perpetually anemic for this life blood of joy.
So anemic that I believed I needed a blood transfusion or else I would die.”
VOLUME IV – OPEN VOLUME IV
“I used to have a recurring dream.
In my dream I found myself in a familiar place.
Sometimes I recognized the apartment,
sometimes the room looked unfamiliar but it felt familiar.
Every time the same thing happens:
I realized that I had gone back to a time where I felt trapped.
Then I began to panic in the dream.”
