me trying to communicate with the fbi agent that monitors me

Nothing but respect for MY president

Maybe it’s better to have the terrible times first. I don’t know. Maybe then, you can have, if you live, a better life, a real life, because you had to fight so hard to get it away⸺you know?⸺from the mad dog who held it in his teeth. But then your life has all those tooth marks, too, all those tatters and all that blood.

 found in the bathroom at Muddy Waters, San Francisco, California, USA

There’s something about being home for the holidays. The bathroom fan sounds the same, and I’m still not sure this house has ever been mine. I really want it to be. I look so different. I’m so much more than 12-yo me could have hoped for. Walking quietly through the house at night like im still young. The bathroom fan sounds the same. I’m going to get back to my life.

i’ve decided to completely dedicate myself to symbols and patterns
