Hawkins vs. the Upside Down

all i know of love

is this ache that lingers in your absence

that lingers when you stay

is this sting when your eyes are on my skin

and everything burns in their wake

everything in me burns

but the lips that i know you’ll never kiss

the hunger that i know you’ll never sate

the feelings that i know you’ll never express

everything in me burns for you

knowing even if you want it too

you’ll never let yourself burn the same

— all i know of love is its ache | wt.

this season is just disappointment after disappointment after disappointment

Shout out to Steve Harrington for apparently being the only genre-aware person in the Hawkins group, grabbing something to defend the group as soon as they hear a weird noise, poking stuff around with an oar, not letting the cursed girl spend too long on her own… and when Dustin mocks him, he snaps back, “considering the people in this room have nearly died about half a dozen times, I don’t find it funny”. He’s so right and he should say it. Steve KNOWS he’s in a horror film and he’s built to be the final girl.

“i have a problem with letting go of things with clenching my hands like a vice and holding on despite everything it’s why i keep all my memories with me carry them in my phone, on my walls in the little box inside my closet even though it’ll always remain closed i have a hard time letting go of people, of memories that no longer ring true i clutch them like i’d be bereft without them the conversations with people i don’t speak to anymore the photos i want to pull down from my walls the memories i no longer want to recall i never allow myself to mourn i hoard them and keep them close and i just can’t seem to let go.”

— i no longer want to meet new people because i’m afraid one day all they’ll ever be are memories i want to revisit, redo, ones that i want to stay in forever and would forever regret. memories that i would never let go of, but memories, nevertheless | wt.

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.
