"Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuation and love poems. Sometimes I wonder if the yearning I've felt for others was more of a yearning for yearning itself. I've pined insatiably and repeatedly: for strangers, new lovers, unrequited flames. While the subjects changed, that feeling always remained. Perhaps, then, I have not been so infatuated with the people themselves, but with the act of longing."
-Melissa Broder, from "Life without Longing," The New York Times

Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
Amazing bro!

I'm very very proud of this so reblogs are highly appreciated! It's inspired by a photo I took of myself yesterday that I quite like! If I can organise myself, I've been thinking about opening commissions if there's any interest?

Why do you think the only value you hold is what you can or can't give me?
Why do you think you're less?
Why do you think you're not good enough?
Why do you think these things?
Why do you feel this way?
Who did this to you?
Was it me?
Was it them?
What can I do to help you?
What can I do to support you?
What can I do to fix this?
We made it to Tumblr, baby.
Bless me, Lord, for I am going to sin.
