This is the nineteen “last straw” apparently. Can you use a different phrase next time? If you’re so unhappy with my life choices, stop giving me second chances and just leave.
welcome to part 23529 of romanticizing every aspect of my life so I don’t fall into a deep depression: i listened to chloe moriondo and made rice and thought ‘this is it this is life’ like who the fuck does that
to the convince store worker that looked at me with worry as i put four monster energy drinks and sugar free mint gum on the counter, im fine im just not fine <3
“Here it goes again
The worst side of me
I’ve kept under my skin
Makes me feel uneasy deep inside
I couldn’t love myself properly
There was a part in me that was Unnecessary and far away
From my ideal self
And I broke it by force.”

alright. fuck small talk. let’s overshare about our trauma while we listen to hozier and drink day old iced coffee.
I’m annotating ‘Call Me By Your Name’ by André Aciman after reading it twice and I got to the scene where Elio keeps changing the way he played the piece and making Oliver frustrated and it took ALL OF MY WILL POWER to not cover the whole scene in highlighter. It’s one of my favourite parts in the whole thing.
Me: I love learning and studying and working. I am only complete when I read and annotate books for fun and write essays on obscure topics.
My 59 missing assignments: wanna work on us then?
Me: no <3
all bitches want is to be yearned for.
it’s me, i’m bitches.
what is a fatal flaw if not a morbid longing for the picturesque?
I just want to wander a thorn-covered castle by candlelight, write you love letters as a storm thunders outside, and drink red wine as I read poetry by the fire.
romanticise your own existence.
When Emily Dickinson said “How dreary to be somebody”, and Daffodils said “It’s been raining inside my head again”, and Oscar Wilde said “Behind sorrow there is always sorrow”.
nobody asked but this is my face
a lovely, wicked place.
he says i smell like autumn mornings, i say he feels like love.
find yourself a lover like a dark night and spilled red wine. one that scrawls poetry along your skin with their lips. love is written all over you.

hi everyone! I’m set to release an online zine shortly and I’m looking for additional contributors! you can submit art (of any kind), writing, poetry, articles, opinion pieces, basically anything you’d like.
the magazine is primarily concerned with the arts, aesthetics, philosophy, and literature. it intends to be a very gentle, dreamy zine so keep that in mind when you submit!
