But when those island bump the sound they make as they clank together sounds so sweet.

Thank you so much for giving me a lot of greetings and congratulations from my inner heart to post on a beautiful flower picture steemit.

Relationships has tendency to fail, people end up disappointing you time after time, taking advantage of you or see you as a granted. The only one you can really rely on is you.

Solitude isn’t punishment, it is something to embrace💜

Who is this about this time? Just thinking.. I have my suspects.

......

Your "We Are All Islands" sentiments echo what I've often thought and expressed, right down to the same metaphor.

The only thing I've got to add is this: Yes, the connections we seem to like to seek out may be illusions, but as compared to what? The pit? It's just as much of an illusion. If the illusions are all that there is, then they may as well be real. 

Hmm... I just got an idea. I'll tell you about it once I actually get it done... =)

Humans are built for seeking out and forming bonds. It's a survival strategy that worked really well for us. But it can and often does go awry in ways causing a great deal of unhappiness. Wealth and technological development correlate with people living with increased personal space and weakened bonds. I suspect we are quite flexible in this regard and that wealth and technology actually enable us to exercise a preference rather than create conditions that promote loneliness against our will. Attachments come at a price. Our ancestors willingly paid that price. Perhaps we don't have to unless we choose to.

Sorry you feel this way dear. Humans can be very hurtful and abusive. Not my favorite animal I can tell you, but there are good ones, I think we just tend to choose the wrong ones, experience coming through here. Lots of stuff about the people you form attachments with that fall away that I don't understand. Why do people tend to let go of the the things that brought them together in the first place? The in love bit goes to hell and then there is the wtf happened bit when it really is that easy, keep the things that brought you together alive. 

Love the song
