The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality. ↗

For better or worse, she was the lady Soraya. And the lady Soraya would never dream of missing the warm bulk of Casia's body between her and the hearth, or the comforting drone of Ludo's snores. Or the wry laughter of a slave... a slave, for Azura's sake! The lady Soraya needed no one. The lady Soraya cried herself to sleep. ↗

Know this and know it more than you've ever bothered to understand anything before: I am, as lonely as they come. As empty as they make them. There is a reason my liver is filled with whiskey. A cloaked rhyme to why my lungs have fallen in love with smoke. I am lonely. But I have come to the conclusion that loneliness, no matter how often it weighs the soul, is sometimes, a beautiful thing. ↗
