It is the monthly Sinful Sunday prompt weekend and the prompt is words beginning with ‘i’.

Words related to isolation: loneliness, vacuum, confinement, incarceration, internment, quarantine.

I am happy to be put into isolation as part of a scene. To wait, vulnerable with the buzz of anticipation mixing with fear of what will come next. Desperation building while I focus on maintaining my calm. The hyper-vigilance that comes with those moments of isolation makes every sensation and experience that follows supercharged. Waiting, knowing that my body will soon be flooded with endorphins and heated response.

That’s the sort of isolation that I like. Not this quarantine that stops me from seeing partners and fills my life with the bad sort of fear.

  1. Pardon me but I do believe a certain something has just grown in MY ‘garden’ at the sight of what’s in YOUR garden.

  2. I hadn’t though of isolation in this way…as a tool. But I can see how it would encourage feelings that could be used positively.

  3. I’m with you completely, I’m done with being trapped at home isolated from those I want to be with. Whilst I’m lucky I have my person with me I am just done with it now.

    And I love this image, it is so raw and yet so fun.
