u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

life is cruel and painful but it is mine. i built it bleeding raw and starving, full of spite and sheer determination

i walked out of hell, i cried while dragging myself out of hell, i climbed out of hell with my bitten down nails sinking into the edges

and it wasn't so i could let another person cut me off at my knees, blunt machete in hand while i watch quietly

i am young starving and have nothing to lose. i will not stop until i get what i deserve

it's gotten dark and cold again and like clockwork i am beginning to drown

this time last year i was halfway through pulling myself out of the trenches this time this year i have been slacking and i'm sinking faster and faster

but okay i am putting in the work picking up the pieces if this is a yearly fight then so be it i will fight it

[artgalleryghost]

i am desperately clawing to keep myself afloat and it's so hard but it feels amazing to want life enough to crave it desperately

like yes the sun sets at four and it's so gloomy and depressing but that's when i turn on the fairy lights

it's hard to find the good in things but i am making it a habit yes it's cold and raining but i am on my way home with the ingredients for soup yes i am stressed and worried i will fail but im studying in the library with a warm cup of coffee

i'm still crying myself to sleep but okay i am drinking water and taking my vitamins i'm trying to get back to where i was before romanticising life and taking care of myself it's hard but okay i am working on it

people with brown or black eyes should be allowed to do anything like get everything they need for free and get away with murder. okay whatever you want beautiful

[artgalleryghost]

the fact that you can’t see who follows the playlists that you have made with your own two hands after serious gruelling work is insane to me like how am i supposed to know who i have to kiss sweetly……
