I've cut the whole lot off! How can I get back to my happy self?"

Bide your time. Take in the long view from the Island. 

When you're ready, swim home."

This is a very interesting story and says a lot about human behavior…… many of us are fed up with ourselves in one way or another…. Fed up with the world situation in general… fed up with just about everything……. Advice is good…. do something really different , muse about why you are in this state of mind….. scream….. and we may all find a new perspective on ourselves and in life…. Get away, ponder, have time alone..l..
Warmly, B
