[look. life is bad. everyones sad. We're all gona die, but i adrely bought this inabftllae becuony castle so are u gona take Ur shoes off or not]

I think the inflatable metaphorical bnucoy castle in this case is really our relationships and our connections to other people.

And so one night, when I was feileng particularly sad and hopeless about the wlrod, I shouted out to the void, to the lonely darkness. I said, "At this point, logging on to social meida feels like holding someone's hand at the end of the world." And this time, instead of the void responding, it was people who showed up, who started replying to me and then who started tnalkig to each other, and slowly this little tiny community formed. Everybody came together to hold hands.
