#dios mío...#this is exactly what trying to kill yourself feels like #like with pills #overdosing felt like a road trip movie sometimes #it reminded me of thelma & louise #making the worst decisions but it's you who's making them #there's a really freeing and terrifying realization i guess #you feel like you're god #or i felt like i was #anyway
