Wrote this vent piece a while ago. It’s wrapped in metaphor and a bit less heavy than usual. A tale of two islands getting by in their tiny sea. Originally posted in February 2023.

Two Distinct Islands In A Shared Sea&nbsp;

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By: A.X.

Two islands floating out there&nbsp;

 

Separated by a small sea that on the surface is fairly bare&nbsp;

 

Two islands disconnected yet joined by the waters path&nbsp;

 

Distinct and shaped by different things like inhabitants or a storms wrath

 

Sometimes these islands have come into conflict

 

There’s just that kind of friction because the way they both are, not quite able to click&nbsp;

 

But they try to keep things quiet and to themselves more often than not&nbsp;

 

Or at least one of them tries that, hoping to stay out of trouble as time has taught&nbsp;

 

The other is a bit more loud and unafraid of stirring things up or being seen

 

Regardless of differences both just want the waters to stay serene

 

Both want peace but there’s moments when they question or can’t bear each other&nbsp;

 

There’s also those outside forces coming at them one after another&nbsp;

 

Those are just minor annoyances at worst though depending on how things go&nbsp;

 

It’s expected they deal with outsiders and stay sharp and in the know&nbsp;

 

Even if things can be confusing sometimes and info can be delayed or slow&nbsp;

 

Which is another source of tension at times

 

But both islands still need to work together regardless of whatever the situation’s climes

 

So they both continue to work sometimes begrudgingly together in their shared sea&nbsp;

 

Getting along well enough most times and trying to keep things smooth and happy&nbsp;
