3.12.17 a dead rose, one that which had died on its stem. withered and faded it still resides in the house. somewhere among other long dead flowers. it exists on a shelf collecting dust as it ages further and further past its life. it exists still, but it is not living, it exists but for what reasons beyond that which it can never control. as always i find a lot of comfort being surrounded by an array of dead things. not in some morbid trip but they definitely remind me to LIVE and EXIST in this life because i too will some day wither and fade and perhaps be left as a monument on some shelf just to collect dust and comfort someone. #abouttohaveanexistentialbreakdown #nothingeverstayedstill #wecanbedeadflowers #aroseofloveadaggerofhate #deadflowers #roses (at The Heights, Jersey City) https://www.instagram.com/myphotographslie/p/Bs_z20dlB7E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1psnd2x83ojii
