I don't want to walk around thinking that people don't change.

ALEX GUERIN Appreciation | February ⤷ possession

the devil's at my shoulder and if i turn around the devil will become me.

[alexguerinappreciation]

Here at Alex Guerin Appreciation we spend a lot of time thinking about Alex and we know a lot of you do, too.

We wanted an interactive way for fans to share their love for Alex that didn't culminate in one week a year—let's face it, one week will never be enough—so we decided to release a few prompts each month to celebrate this man we all love.

To participate, all you need to do is:

Create fanworks based on one or more of our prompts ➔ fanart, fanvids, fanfiction, fanmixes, gifs, edits, rec lists, meta, etc.

Post them during the current month

Tag your posts with #alexguerinmonthly or #alexmanesmonthly

Follow the blog so you don't miss the monthly prompts and we hope to see you in February! 🧡

Truth of My Youth lyrics below

there was a time and place where I never thought I'd leave my own hometown but those days finally are dead and gone it was never my intention to stay there, oh no

there was a conscious effort played by me to disown anything I see there was a girl I knew way back when who says she doesn't know me anymore

these are the lies the things you never mention these are my past mistakes I'll stay away from these are my thoughts written down on paper it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say

these are the thoughts that are on my mind moments that haven't yet been defined and I don't know if you could ever understand these are the things I can't say when we're alone

there were countless hours on the telephone my ears were ringing from the dial tone there were flashing lights, people staring there was nothing I could ever do

these are the lies the things you never mention these are my past mistakes I'll stay away from this is the truth, the only time you'll hear it I'll write it down because it seems so hard to say it

these are my thoughts written down on paper it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say

these are the thoughts that are on my mind moments that haven't yet been defined and I don't know if you could ever understand these are the things I can't say when we're alone
