textual notes on antigone i found interesting

[iseethelives]

i get in the car and my eyes are dry and stinging and my limbs are slow and clumsy with exhaustion and the pain of growing up, and i shut the door with fat, soft fingers that used to be calloused and good at so many things. for one moment, very briefly, the dying afternoon light reflects through my hair and the tiny strands of red that never quite faded stand out and im myself again. it is so easy to forget that under my face that's gone puffy and mottled purple under my eyes that there used to be smile lines and real red in my cheeks. that some version of me existed once where i felt anything but dread and misery.

I have dreams of you asking me better questions. Your desire to know more makes the love feel fuller. Then I open my eyes and you’re never as curious as I want

i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

Got my hands on an old camera, I feel so powerful. (featuring highlights from my bedroom :3 )

i’m a pretty boy but not in the cute way. i’m a pretty boy as in “hotshot” and “smartass”. i’m a pretty boy in the way someone spits the phrase at me through their teeth as we fight in a bar. i’m a pretty boy said as a challenge before drag racing through an abandoned parking lot. i’m a pretty boy said as a taunt while you fuck me good in the alley out back. i’m a pretty boy who looks you right in the eyes as you pull out and finish into the dirt like an animal. i’m a pretty boy in the way you’ve never kissed me but you think about me while you’re having sex with your girlfriend. i’m a pretty boy in the way you don’t know my name but you can’t get my damn smug face out of your head or my smell out of your clothes so you look for me tomorrow night and we do this all over again
