Forgive me if I loved you so violently and so madly, for violence is my weapon to write and my weapon when I love. And madness is the last gold ring I place on your fingers.

“I will be wild. I will be brutal. I will encircle you and conquer you. I will be more powerful than your boats and your swords and your blood lust. I will be inevitable.”

— Iphigenia, from A Memory of Wind by Rachel Swirsky.

“i think there’s something about being a young woman that feels very murderous. that’s what i was trying to get with a song like ‘dream girl evil.’ it can be dangerous for people to think you’re incredibly nice. when you get, ‘you’re an angel,’ that seems like such a high place to fall from. when i see messy or violent or terribly behaved women, especially young women, there’s a liberation. to not have to try and survive by being good.”

— florence welch on her song “dream girl evil”

most fun i ever had…

[goddessofselfdestruction]

do you ever want to argue with someone when they try to invalidate something you say? and then you have that moment of “hm, I don’t have to justify that with a response. I don’t.” and then you just don’t. and you have that moment of clarity that it’s not something they understand esp when it’s about an experience that’s unique to you/your life.

You are allowed to grieve the years you lost to mental illness. You’re allowed to be mad that it happened to you. You’re allowed to pine after the person you might have been had it been different. But don’t let that get in the way of your growing into your new self and following a wholly new path for your life.

me, watching a show about depression and suicide, as though I haven’t lived through it once and barely made it out the other side

how to depressive episode!1!!

you will need:

instant coffee from the asian section of your friendly neighborhood walmart (aka a fun 2:30am insomnia-fueled wandering location)

ibuprofen

baby wipes and deodorant (showering whom?? i don’t know her)

frozen meals… and tortilla chips for eating plain when too sad to use the microwave

at least one clean pair of sweats because if you start out with dirty sweats they’ll just get dirtier, at least if they’re clean they won’t stand up on their own by the time you’re able to change out of them

sparkling water (honestly drinking a can of sparkling water and then sleeping for 12 hours in the middle of the day is my aesthetic)

don’t forget to:

lose any and all motivation to do literally anything (including,,, even,, ,, , idfk staying alive or somethign)

destroy every social connection you have because of the fluctuation between soul-crushing loneliness and horrifyingly low tolerance for socialization

pet an animal for several hours

drink enough coffee to Accelerate The Sadness

cry

Lay On The Floor™

doubt every aspect of yourself and every decision you’ve literally ever made in your entire life
