Flying High Soaring Above Tragedies Of Life

By Susan Cox


The book got us thinking. Our thoughts jump from one good thing to a bunch of the bad excessively that it made our heads hurt. Maybe we got triggered by the reviews we have seen about this book or maybe we have just prolonged something. We are not sure. But when you realize that depression has always been there even back then and that no one has a magical or scientific way of getting rid of it until now, you think. You think a lot. They are not nice thoughts but what can we do? At least Katy is Flying High Soaring Above Tragedies Of Life.

It takes guts to write and publish the horrible things that had happened to you in the past. You have to at least be very brave to admit to yourself that, yes, your lifetime was not a good one but I still choose what I want to do with it. And brave is exactly what Katy Rovetto is.

When your life does not want to cooperate with you and decides it wants you to be as messed up as possible, what do you do? You family loved alcohol too much and likes to take it out on you. Your first husband killed himself, leaving you with a kid. Your second husband died after healing your heart.

In retrospect, maybe it is not the doctors to blame here but the human race itself. The only reason we have these issues and problems is because we are so goddamn emotional. Or worse, emotionless. We humans are so complicated and our own enemies are ourselves to be honest. We create our own problems and then have the gall to complain about it.

Because your kid deserves happiness and it is unfair to let him grow up with your depression peeking out a lot. You love him and he is precious. So what do you do except to hide your issues from him and from everyone to avoid getting hurt again and to protect your light?

It is sad that we have become like this. Or maybe issues like this has also been common back then and just was not as voiced out as it is now. Famous people, especially artists, struggle with this every day. We keep losing them to suicide without even knowing that they were depressed and tired to begin with.

If we were gods, would we be better? All of us? With that kind of power and immortality, are we going to go crazy with those or do we come out on top better than ever? Maybe Katy has been a goddess all this time. Her life seems like a Greek Tragedy already.

What would have happened though if she had no son to pull her up? If she was alone and had no one to remind her that life still is beautiful despite how much it seems to hate her. If her first live did not leave her with something or someone to remind her of him. Would she still be alive? Would her bravery be absent?

We cannot say for sure. Everyone has a limit and we are rather glad that she did not reach hers in the long run. There might have been events that made her want to quit but her kid is what kept her going.
