We live with the decisions we makeThat’s what bravery is. Standing by the consequences of your mistakes.

The isolation spins its mysterious cocoon, focusing the mind on one place, one time, one rhythm - the turning of the light. The island knows no other human voices, no other footprints.

You don’t think ahead in years or months: you think about this hour, and maybe the next. Anything else is speculation.
