Just Something Out of the Blue
I don't believe in the idea that no man is an island, but rather I believe in the exact opposite. Each and everyone of us is an island in our own selves. We build walls and create fortresses around our minds, our hearts and our overall being for protection. We tell lies to cover our weaknesses, we wear masks to patch up our flaws and we shut ourselves from others because we know that however much they understand us, it's still not enough.
However, amidst this thinking, I also do believe that because of this, we discover those select people who cares for us so much that they will bother breaking into the wall we've surrounded ourselves in--that they will search for us when we are drowning in our pool of lies, strip us off of our masks and still manage to look despite our flawed selves and accompany us in our own little world away from everybody else even though they couldn't understand a single bit of our thoughts.

Those people are the most precious commodity this world can give us. Nothing's more comforting than knowing someone who's looked straight through you and still wants to be in your company.
I bet you thought I forgot about you, huh? I'm sorry. Things have been crazy around here.
Yeah. That's true. Very few people are able to do that, what with people's ability of smiling in front of you and scowling at your back.
And yeah, you bet I did. I missed you. But it's okay. Don't worry. If I may ask though, what happened?
Jeez, an excellent question! What's happened? Well, my job's been keeping me busy. So has hunting for a second job. And trying to get a book published. And trying to write enough other stuff to keep my hand in. And still finding time to go out and take the dog for a walk. Whoo-ee. You'll notice how long went by between here and that LAST comment...I apologize. I'm also reading several books simultaneously, too, and that keeps me pretty busy.
