Thanks so much for all your love and feedback on my past posts. It truly has been amazing as well as shocking! 

Forever grateful to you all,

L'amour est la douleur...

Going on 3 months since I’ve seen my love. 900 goddamn miles. The world is pain. And love is pain. But we’re dependent on both. Just hoping, wishing, praying...Begging for better days. To see him again. Dear God, these are the things that bring us to our knees weeping soft tears of agony with pain in our hearts. ♡ ✞

Spoke to my boyfriend last night after 4am. He’s never heard me speak too long after midnight. He thought I was “overtired”. That means I sounded batshit crazy. Гребаная сказочная.

Believe it or not, but this blonde beauty is Courtney Love c.1987. This is one of a series of shots for a magazine.

You know, it is not so much I’ve lost the will to write or to publish the beautiful junk I post on here, but rather my mind will not let me. My mind has been on still mode for what feels like months; not days or weeks. A big problem is I feel like I have been shutting everyone out. But not so much shutting them out, but rather I cannot deal with the pressure. And the person I love most, I had to leave behind nearly 1,000 miles away, now touching from a distance. I’ll really try to keep everyone up to date here, if they’re interested. I must say, this little space in the internet has been one of my joys and something I’m pretty proud to have created and managed for about a year now. 

[in-this-colony]

This one’s mine. #anons can be fun. Especially when it’s your favorite Tumblr. Until, you know...It’s no longer anon because you make a big deal out of it. When I think people are particularly brilliant...I sort of lose control (no pun intended, Joy Division fans...Maybe on second thought...) Interzones rocks. If you like the shit I post, follow him. It’s even better, I swear to you.

I just wanted to say you're awesome. One of the few people who still have good taste in music and literature in the 21st century. You really give me a lot of influence. P.S. You look a lot like Ian.

i’m honored that i can influence or inspire anyone, it really does mean a great deal, thank you so much, i’m glad that you’ve found a kindred spirit in me 

and thank you! i’ll take that as a compliment haha

The fucking man I love.

you

[in-this-colony]

Hey Im just going straight into what I want to say, ldk your posts just caught my attention, you are someone different and Im happy to find that Im so tired of seen the same superficial shit everyday and I need more you know something to hold on to, I wonder if you need that too. You know I also get very inspired by marquis de sade, he opened my mind in a way a could never imagine.

To be honest, it’s things like this that make me smile even when days are beyond dark. I am very glad to hear that someone, anyone, gets something out of this blog besides myself. :) It has always been a goal of mine to touch someone, to reach someone out there somehow. I’m very intrigued by the fact that you’re also inspired by the Marquis de Sade. True admirers of his work are very rare these days. Also, yes, I certainly do need things to hold onto. You know, it’s what gets people like myself through life everyday. And apparently you’re no exception in that regard. I’d like to get to know each other better, perhaps. I’m happy you reached out. - Gabrielle xxxx
