How do you differentiate whether you’re inside some thing or on top of it then?

Manhattan encompasses many islands, including Manhattan Island but also others

It’s funny you are in St. Louis but if it were surrounded by water you would be on top of it because it’s like a boat or something

I think you do say “on” when referring to Manhattan as an island vs as a burrow

I mean you’re always on the ground or something. I don’t know why it isn’t “in an island” just like it’s “in a city”. Even when you’re in water you’re not on the water you’re in the water, unless you’re on a boat, but that should be in too. In a boat in the water.

Stop trying to use your intellect on everything! Rediscover your intuition! Trust in the vibes.

It's Sunday 11:39pm as I sit here. I went into the office and did some catch up work today and I keep thinking it's Monday night. Everytime I remember it's only Sunday night I get a bit more depressed.
Fuck.
