Скачать или смотреть The Bridge I Avoided for Forty Years

There are places we stop visiting,
even though they still exist.

Not because they’re dangerous,
but because they hold the exact moment
when something broke.

For forty years, I avoided crossing a bridge near my home.
That’s where my brother left one night,
and the world never felt the same again.

This is a first-person story
about memory, absence,
and goodbyes that don’t end when we think they do.

There are no explanations.
No forced conclusions.

Only time, silence,
and a place that kept waiting.

Listen slowly.
