Unknown
We can not know everything and there's no need to. It gives peace of mind to be unaware, stay in your own part of the world even if it's a small one. People aren't the same and what feels good to one can be hell on earth to someone else.
It could have gone different and if I would be living like a little princess in that house today, it's what she told my son and today my daughter and I walked by the house. Unknown to her, same for the village she said she never visited before, although it's a stone throw distance away.
The weather was great. Some heatwave, we are happy with it.
It's hard to believe she's 40 years old... And you... How old are you.. You don't look like 40 either. I have to tell you something. I thought you would drop dead any minute a few years ago. How come every time I see you, you look younger?
Unknown... what goes on in the head of those you know.
I need an escape, a way out. I spoke with my brother who knows, feels and wakes up if there's something wrong. With me it's same. How do you know that... the question is no longer asked. I decided to check the flight schedules. It will take longer than expected but there are two stops included - killing time on airports is no hobby of mine but way better without luggage. Traveling light is the best. I read more and more travel without, exactly the way my grandfather always said (all you need is your wallet + your toothbrush, I assume the passport hides in the wallet).
We should have more fun, not care about what others say about us, my brother says, I am tired I want to go back/to bed.
He's right, like my friend says: I suffered enough, I only have this life. True, but most saying this can't cut ties and start to live. Courage is needed and it's so much easier to live the miserable life than leaving and starting with a clean sheet, hunted, threatened, alone in the world with the risk to be killed like the 17 year old girl.
Can you defend yourself at night, I ask.
I don't feel threatened, but if they want to kill me go ahead. At least someone will be caught and my death was useful.
...Or the killer remains unknown, like most killers and if known unpunished...

It can indeed and there's nothing wrong with that if you can protect yourself. Not everyone is able to ignore, swallow, switch off.

I like the picture that you've chosen for this post, & well written by the way.. But, there is something within the text. It reads like a reflection wrote in a more generic way.

(Can you defend yourself at night, I ask.)I try not to be reckless, that is to say, I always analyze where to go, it is complicated to avoid human evil, what I do is always be on the defensive, it sounds bad but it is what I do, I live quietly but attentive to everything

I completely agree with you

A few years ago, I saw a very motivating video. It talked about how we carry a very spoiled child called thoughts; we're always thinking. But those thoughts need to be corrected. We need to set limits. We need a personal trainer (ourselves). We experience (mentally) many episodes that never come to pass. Why go through all this? It never even happened. The pain is stored away for when it happens (in real life).
We never stop imagining. I understand that when you've been through a lot, it's complicated. But we can put the brakes on our thoughts. We can see the positive side of every catastrophe. Everything negative, in my opinion, leaves something positive behind. Experience. The possibility of improvement, which makes you stronger. You are very strong.
You have my consideration, respect, and appreciation, even in the darkest night. You will always find my words across the sea. From infinity.

I don't believe that train of thoughts can be stopped but we can let the train switch to a different trail where it won't run off a bridge and let it create the art.
Keeping distance, being the observer helps too.
Thank you for your sending your words during the darkest nights.
Sweet dreams, no larvae, no ants.
