- Franz Kafka
Something about angel wings-
Much about a broken heart.
How slow life seems to me,
How violent the hope of love can be.
It should be enough.
To make something beautiful should be enough.
It isn’t.
It should be.
I- so imperfect, so weak,
So unbelievably lonely.
I had a very childlike rage
And a very childlike loneliness.
Ocean Vuong, “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous”
When twenty one pilots said, “Keep your bliss. There’s nothing wrong with this.” and when twenty one pilots said, “Self-sabotage is a sweet romance.” and when they said, “Keep your sunny days. Leave us in the rain.” and when they said, “You shed your modesty.”
When twenty one pilots said, “homie just sued me”.
When Lorde said, “I thought I was a genius, but now I’m twenty-two.” and when Lorde said, “I’m tryna get well from the inside.” and when she said, “We had no idea the dreams we had were far too big.” and when she said, “‘Cause we are all broken and sad.”
When twenty one pilots said,
“Like a little splinter buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out, but when you’ve got the pin
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
When your body’s screamin’ out, trust your mind’s listenin’”
and when they wrote,
“I don’t want to go on like this
At least let me clean my room
I don’t want to leave like this
‘Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions
Wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?”
and when they sang,
“Ain’t no sunny skies, 'til you finally realize
That everybody relies on synthetic highs
They find someone to prescribe
Keep your bliss
There’s nothing wrong with this
We just wanna feel it all
Keep your pills, save your breath
And don’t ever forget ”

When Sylvia Plath wrote, ‘I was supposed to be having the time of my life.’ and when Sylvia Plath wrote, ’… but here I was, sitting back and letting it run through my fingers like so much water.’ and when she wrote, ’… I wondered why I couldn’t go the whole way doing what I should any more. This made me sad and tired. Then I wondered why I couldn’t go the whole way doing what I shouldn’t,… and this made me even sadder and more tired.’ and when she wrote, 'what did I do but balk and balk like a dull cart horse?’
And when Sylvia Plath described the essence of society by saying, ’… because he thought all sickness was the sickness of the will.’ and when she said 'she wants…to be everything’ and when she wrote, 'What did I think was wrong? That made it sound as if nothing was really wrong, I only thought it was wrong.’ and 'You’ll never get anywhere like that…’

I’m glad I got to experience the experiences that I experienced. They left scars and heartaches behind but I am who I am because of it. All of the colours added to my life that is indeed a masterpiece. Pure flesh-tearing art. I suffer for the beauty. Art indeed.
“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”

“Show me a hero, and I’ll write you a tragedy.”
-Francis Scott Fitzgerald
Messy hair, smudged makeup, wrinkled clothes, chipped nail varnish, stained fingertips, chapped lips, mix-match socks, annotated books, clashing aesthetics, dried flowers, scribbled handwriting, voice cracks, bruises, acne, body hair, early mornings, late nights, unmade beds, loud music, soft touches
Very much in the mood to go to a bookstore carrying a warm drink in a stryrofoam cup whilst it’s raining outside
“I shall bow to no one except my own portrait. ”

Reblog this with human things you find beautiful
• When people smile so wide, creases appear on their face. It’s like they’re so happy that they can’t keep it in
• Tanlines and age spots and freckles and scars and stretch marks and acne. Chapped lips, bleary eyes, broken nails, split ends. Anything that marks us as human and vulnerable and brave.
• h a n d s
• A stomach that has lots of rolls or none at all!!!!! It makes me so happy to think that that’s the place where your favourite foods are!!!!!!
It’s 2020, it’s time to stop putting so much importance and value on physical beauty. What is beauty, anyway? Everyone has a different definition of it. Stop judging others and stop judging yourself for their beauty not fitting into your version of it.
WE are beautiful and WE are radiant and no I don’t accept criticism
C.S. Lewis

“Here it is, a book that represents the wholeness that I built after everything toppled.”
Little Weirds, Jenny Slate
“I wondered how many of them had wives waiting for them, mothers and daughters perhaps. What would those women think if they could see their menfolk, as they stood guard over us, the weeping, grieving survivors of Troy?”
― Jennifer Saint, Elektra
