What If We Fucked Around And Renormalized Sending Handwritten Letters To Our Lovers? 💌

💗💗

life would be so different if i was a bookshop owner in a small village near some forest who has a secret affair with the local poet

Jerry Downs -  Several years ago, on the hottest of Summer days, on my way home from a book signing in Southern California, I saw these blackbirds in the coolest spot. Stay cool, my fellow birds of a feather.

I’ve been interested in the costumes from Crimson Peak for a while, so I made a video! Check it out if you’re interested! :)

wish my life was like a 90's movie where all my friends work in record stores and bookshops and coffee shops and we see really cool bands in small little clubs and get breakfast together and like hang out on roofs and shit

This is so true

*refuses to look at texts* I love conversation and communication

“1. I’m lonely so I do lonely things. 2. Loving you was like going to war; I never came back the same. 3. You hate women, just like your father and his father, so it runs in your blood. 4. I was wandering the derelict car park of your heart looking for a ride home. 5. You’re a ghost town I’m too patriotic to leave. 6. I stay because you’re the beginning of the dream I want to remember. 7. I didn’t call him back because he likes his girls voiceless. 8. It’s not that he wants to be a liar; it’s just that he doesn’t know the truth. 9. I couldn’t love you, you were a small war. 10. We covered the smell of loss with jokes. 11. I didn’t want to fail at love like our parents. 12. You made the nomad in me build a house and stay. 13. I’m not a dog. 14. We were trying to prove our blood wrong. 15. I was still lonely so I did even lonelier things. 16. Yes, I’m insecure, but so was my mother and her mother. 17. No, he loves me he just makes me cry a lot. 18. He knows all of my secrets and still wants to kiss me. 19. You were too cruel to love for a long time. 20. It just didn’t work out. 21. My dad walked out one afternoon and never came back. 22. I can’t sleep because I can still taste him in my mouth. 23. I cut him out at the root, he was my favorite tree, rotting, threatening the foundations of my home. 24. The women in my family die waiting. 25. Because I didn’t want to die waiting for you. 26. I had to leave, I felt lonely when he held me. 27. You’re the song I rewind until I know all the words and I feel sick. 28. He sent me a text that said “I love you so bad.” 29. His heart wasn’t as beautiful as his smile. 30. We emotionally manipulated one another until we thought it was love. 31. Forgive me, I was lonely so I chose you. 32. I’m a lover without a lover. 33. I’m lovely and lonely. 34. I belong deeply to myself.”

“We were walking the museum’s length and as we passed the artworks, I could’ve sworn I heard them weep because you were the masterpiece they couldn’t keep.”

— Me (JNH). Yes, you’re a masterpiece. (via shatteredjuveniledays)

appreciation post for everyone whos ever talked to me bc im annoying and dumb

i am afraid if i vanish no one will remember my smell. who will know my favorite candle, who will bury themselves in vanilla in a scent of grief. i am afraid in ten, twenty, 50 years time, i will have not been. who was i, who are we to be so easily forgotten
