oh and a little cathartic venting

 

I’ve learned that people will forget what you say to them, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you make them feel.

Maya Angelou (via lionofbedstuy) (via -regress)

It is important to remember that judgements we make about ourselves [and others] are opinions, not facts.

Like Vincent

i don’t want to kill myself

i just want to die

retreat to empty reverie

avoid saying good bye

imitate Van Gogh

cut off the ear of life

the prettiest girl I ever did see

There is this man, I really like him

When he speaks to me, I can’t stop smiling

I never liked the way you loved
So devious, so dated
But still I fasted like a monk
And prayed to see you naked

I’d see you hurting everyone
A government of suffering
I’d tell myself “Thy Will Be Done
My will it counts for nothing”

I drank a lot I lost my job
I lived like nothing mattered
And you, you never came across
You never even answered

It was a blind and broken time
And kindness was forbidden
I guess I tried to hitch a ride
From acid to religion

But every guiding light was gone
And every good direction
The book of love I read was wrong
It had a happy ending…

Leonard Cohen

Here’s to hoping I don’t get liver cirrhosis or kidney failure or some such thing because wow, my body is working overtime to rid itself of you. I can hardly get up in the morning I’m so tired. Think I might need to go on a detox diet. I’ll eat all the lemons I have to in order to flush you out.

When I’ve done all the things
that I want to do,
Make sure I’m buried next to somebody I’d like to talk to …
Make sure I’m buried next to somebody that likes to argue.

Heroine: Lisa Mitchell

You have the right atrium of my heart in your hand and the other underfoot. One ventricle slid across the floor into the kitchen somewhere. I don’t know what happened to the rest. My aorta is hanging from my chest like a… I don’t know what like… limp but swinging against my abdomen from the force with which it was yanked. And you’re just standing there with that goddamn blank face that says “what?” … “Derrr, what?” … I kind of need that organ. Fuckwit.
