You earn brotherhood__he purest friendship, trust, love, whatever you want to call it__oment by moment through how you treat others.

What you see is what you get. The island is imaginative enough. Creativity don__ need to be wasted on naming things.

Cause and effect are rarely directly related. Justice has a mind of her own.

There__ a drive in a lost soul__n one that is searching for acceptance, companionship, belonging, whatever you want to call it. The slightest coincidence ignites a spark that one hopes will lead to something meaningful.

t may not be the life you imagined, but it__ your life. You came here for a reason. Is it time for you to go and begin again?

Yet hopefully things are different now, and I'm moving on to something better rather than attempting to suck more out of the same stale situation.

Maybe winning isn__ everything. One just needs to hedge the bet and minimize the risk.

I have nowhere to go and no place I__ supposed to be. Am I lost or completely free?

The waves splash against my face, carrying a message: Welcome, you belong here.

To exist here, I__l have to become skilled in saying no__n art in which I was once well accomplished, but one I no longer care to practice.

There's nothing like an orgasm to make a person think--and more often than not, to think too much.

My discontent has accumulated over the past months, searching for a leak in the dam I__e constructed to separate my true feelings from the situation closing in around me.

I am two people. One goes through the motions, rolling from one thing to the next; the other is withdrawn, watching a complete stranger.

There's nothing like an orgasm to force a person to think--and more often than not, to think too much.

I never get used to the faces--wide-eyed and full of possibility--staring bad at me.

Rationalization is foreplay with one's conscience.

Even the best buzz wears off, and you wake up more trapped than the day before.

When compared side by side, my days can barely be distinguished from one another. The only difference is what I do after work and with whom I do it.
