I despise the saying "No Man is an Island." What do you mean I am better with human connection than isolation? With my pretty little garden, my doggo and catto, my books and guitar, my pastries, and me singing with the birds, dancing with butterflies amidst the whispering leaves.

But there is a solace maybe -ing this life

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.
