Two books, two stories of healing from trauma
Recently, I had too much free time and I was going through books like crazy. One of the topics that I keep on coming back is trauma. I guess it’s natural when you mix a bookworm with a less-than-ideal childhood. There aren’t that many worth-reading books but once in a while, I do manage to find a good nugget in the tall pile of shite of self-help books. This is a reflection on two of them.

36 moments and no more
If you could capture 36 moments, what would you choose? That’s the question I try to answer every time I pick up my film camera. It forces me to choose which moments are truly important and worthy of living forever and what is more of the society induced ‘pic or didn’t happen’ instinct. It makes every choice just slightly more intentional and the final result (even if not so good) always has a bit more soul. Continue reading 36 moments and no more
