is to love and be loved.

She found herself locked in the storeroom, waking up to see yellow sunshine beaming through the cracks in the boarded-up window. How restrained her life had become, to only see the world through these cracks, through these shards of forcefed reality; how she longed to see the big picture, to see the world, reality through her own eyes. The sunshine that peeped through the cracks were what she revelled in, day after day; through the cracks she also saw storms and hurricanes, and after the sordid horridness of the wet and noise of the calamities and destruction on the outside, she felt a riveting peace within her, a calm in her soul after the storms. She could not see the world in its entirety, but she enjoyed what she could see, although she heavily lusted for more clarity, more colours, more feelings.
Trapped where she was, she could not move and had no one to talk to, but perhaps isolation was best for her sanity, after betrayal and hurt, and pain and anger. Perhaps being alone was best for her and the world.
