I Wish Smoking Wasnt Hot. But We Cant All Get What We Want

“i’m not the same as who i was before [x] thing happened to me” does it help to know that you would not have stayed that person regardless

being covered in blood is inherently slut behavior

like you just experienced the most brutal and painful event in your life and now you’re soaked in blood?

ok whore.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

It's about having someone who fits the negative space in your life like you fit theirs.
