Please, call me Frankenstein. Frankenstein was my father, but stealing his name and overriding his presence in the dominant cultural consciousness has been really, really satisfying

jesus and judas have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

[theblackparadeisdead]

The thing is the only way out is through and you really do have to force yourself to love life against all odds. You have to let yourself take moments to enjoy the sunlight on your face and think about how lucky you are that youre alive to feel that even in the most nightmare situations. You have to learn to understand that everything youre feeling is a temporary condition and to enjoy the good when it lasts and weather the bad until it's over and that it's a privilege and a joy to wake up and feel any of it.
