michael and lucifer. the militant and the fallen.

holding back tears in the parking lot of the community college because my mom called to tell me that my sister told college recruiters i was her hero.

taking the years of abuse for her wasn’t for nothing :’)

a loud playlist to rival the noise in my head

i pray so often for my friends and chosen family, but i just know that no one is out there praying for me.

resting peacefully tonight :)

all i can do is pray, so i do. but god does this hurt.

i just want time to stop, i want some weed and for life to wait until i can catch up. but it cant, and it could take me years to figure it all out, and i have to be sober against my own will.
