No Man is an Island?

An island is any piece of land smaller than a continent and larger than a rock, that is completely surrounded by water. Very small islands are called islets.

Maybe I'm an islet?

Rejecting kopi and lunch invites. Why?

I enjoy being a hermit? Yeah, maybe.

I'm shortening my life-span here by being one? Yeah, maybe.

Do I not mind a shorter life-span here? Yeah, maybe.

There's a check against all my questions! I'm digging my own grave and walking around in it not knowing why.

PS: I have beautiful childhood memories of Pangkor Island...
