The Long Way Through
Citra Nilakresna Dewi
Description
The Long Way Through doesn’t promise closure. It opens a space for recognition — for the subtle ways loss and becoming overlap, for the truths that stay half-lit even when they finally come into view.
It’s less about answers, more about the slow return to meaning — even when meaning itself resists being named. The words move between clarity and confusion, showing how understanding isn’t an ending at all, but a continual rearranging of what we once thought we knew.
Written in poetic prose, the reflections trace how grief, love, and time bend the human spirit without breaking it. They don’t search for redemption, only perspective — a quieter kind of knowing that unfolds softly in the spaces between what was and what comes next.
The pages don’t try to simplify emotion or turn it into something neat. They let it breathe — raw, contradictory, and true — reminding that awareness, even when uncertain, can still bring a kind of peace that feels earned, not given.
Sometimes, all we can do is keep walking — not toward certainty, but toward understanding.
If these pages find you somewhere along that road, may they keep you company for a while.
