Were I a lost land, what would I be? I would like to be as large and important as a continent, but I can see that I am not large enough or important enough.
Perhaps a peninsula? No. I don’t feel connected enough to a major landmass, and I don’t stick out. And, similarly, I don’t feel like a cape, for I still think I’m more significant than such a small protuberance.
At times, I could be an isthmus, connected two landmasses together, but at any time I would want to break free of either one, which would only result in being connected to one.
Since none of these will do, I suppose I am left with an archipelago. The group of islands are my various interests, which are only linked by their proximity to one another, and that proximity is myself. And this group of islands sits in the midst of an ocean. Being connected to an ocean is preferable than being connected to a continent, for oceans are connected to everything while still being their own thing.
