Does Anyone Know What The First Step Of Unlearning Shame Is. Please Say It’s Substance Abuse

I say this with the utmost sincerity, but I hope you have the courage and space and freedom in the upcoming year to be the nasty little freak that you are. I hope you can find a place to realize that the things you think make you unlovable and disgusting are in fact very lovable and not disgusting in any way. I hope you find sincerity beyond your ability to even comprehend.

Albert Camus, The Misunderstanding (1943)

I think there's a heartbreaking beauty in not wanting to forget a certain person. Even if they are no longer with you, you want to carry them with you. You want to engrave every detail of them in your heart. You replay the person's voice in your head until it starts to fade away, and there is nothing you can do about it. It hurts to remember them, but it's worth it

hey. can i come over and explode into viscera in your living room ?

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"
