The Year My Father Died
Briefly

The mind is described as a prison, a complex structure with hidden depths and rituals aimed at correction, revealing the inner struggles one faces during grief.
The year following my father's death was a transformation; I moved through ordinary life with my family, but inside, a deeper journey of survival unfolded.
Throughout my life, I traveled, metaphorically bringing parts of my being to the mountains, while discarding what was no longer needed, representing a quest for meaning.
In a poignant moment at a train station, the narrator imagines their father waiting—a rich symbol of unresolved emotions and the struggles of moving on.
