see what you don’t realize is ever since we left our mothers’ wombs, covered in blood and tears, we’ve been floating out to sea. at first we just drifted, searched for a pulsing light or the silhouettes of land. and soon after, we started to throw our lines out into the darkness, blindly casting them in every direction.
and then we sat and waited. and we waited and waited and waited until we would feel a tug on the other end of a line. because that’s all we ever wanted and all we’ll ever want. a tug that confirms we exist outside of ourselves.
