thirty-one and I've found myself on an island. I'm lonely with my opinions, and I never wanted them in the first place. But I'm here and can't go back and don't know where forward is, I never meant to move at all so why would I want to move now? I just hate being on a fucking island. 171128

Risen I know that island.

There's a quotation that no one is an island, entire unto themselves, and it's true in a way, but it's also untrue. We can feel like we are islands.

We can be isolated, and not just physically. You can be surrounded and feel completely alone.

I doubt I'll figure out how to build a raft before I hit 31.

I always feel alone this time of year, but there's a weight to it this year which feels like change is coming, for better or worse.
