i love when you hear a song and you're like “oh id absolutely stumble through the snow bleeding from a knife stuck in my gut to this”
there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that
I can't explain what i mean and even if i could I'm not sure i would feel like it .
If I was ever given a book of classic poetry with handwritten annotations I would simply die
Ye imma make moodboards for all my classes

Reblog this if you're the eldest daughter who had to mature at a really young age, were always seen as the 'quiet and unproblematic' one, were the overachiever of the family, were the so-called 'perfect child', so now you're literally terrified of doing anything wrong because you don't want to ruin your reputation and whenever you try to tell anyone about your fears or insecurities they just brush it off like "lol why would you think that you're worrying for no reason"
― Virginia Woolf, A Passionate Apprentice: The Early Journals, 1897-1909

Like my mother
Like my mother
Like my mother
I need to be beautiful like my mother.
She's the most beautiful woman to have ever lived. But no one knows that except me because no one else has the same wounds as her like I do which can carry the entire truth of her existence. No one else has cried when she cried, bled when she bled, died when she died.
No one else has inherited her rage.
No one else has inherited her grief.
No one else has inherited her bloodlust.
Except me
So I need to be beautiful like her too.
I'll paint my lips to hide the crimson stains of spitting my own blood.
I'll darken my eyes to hide the bruises from nights spent with mania instead of rest.
I'll pluck out every imperfection in my brow until it no longer furrows for men who do not deserve it.
I'll put kajal on my waterline so whoever makes me cry has to see me in all my horrifying anger.
I'll powder up my cheeks to hide the tears my father never dried and put lotion on the skin that holds the scars from wounds I was too young to heal.
Like my mother did.
Because I need to be beautiful like my mother.
Even if it leaves me lifeless.
She has been lifeless for most of her life too.
That awkward moment when you’re like “ahhh that was grooming” ????
