the lonely planet boy

" yo, sylvain, you around ? ugly motherfucka' !"

[johnnythunders]

it’s so difficult to watch time pass. it feels like every day there’s some new terror to remind you that you’re real, but not in a thrill-seeking excitement way. we’ll always love you, sylvain, you’ll always be that amazing light.
