The Waiting Place

Jillian. 26. Cemetery Walker. Macabre Lover. Atheist. I want to live in the feelings that watching Rocky and Girl, Interrupted provoke in me. But they're too fleeting and disappear once I realize I'm in the midst of them. “The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.”

The Laughing Heart

by Charles Bukowski

your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them. you can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you.

All addicts, regardless of the substance or their social status share a consistent and obvious symptom; they’re not quite present when you talk to them. They communicate to you through a barely discernible but unignorable veil. They have about them the air of elsewhere, that they’re looking through you to somewhere else they’d rather be. And of course they are. The priority of any addict is to anaesthetise the pain of living to ease the passage of the day with some purchased relief.

Dr. Seuss + Taxidermy = The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss Collection

Over 80 years ago Theodor Seuss Geisel created a series of awesome sculptures based on his own fantastical creature designs, his very own Collection of Unorthodox Taxidermy.

“The original works utilized actual remains of lions, rabbits, and deer that died at the Springfield Zoo where his father was a director. Geisel used these ears, antlers, and shells to form realistic copies of his 2D fictional characters and asked his wife Audrey Geisel to wait until after this death to reveal his works to the public. Audrey stayed true to his wish and waited until 1997, six years after his death, to begin commissioning the sculptures.”

17 resin casts of those original pieces, along with rare paintings and drawings, are currently part of a traveling exhibition entitled If I Ran the Zoo, showing at the LaMantia Gallery in Northport, NY from November 12th to the 27th, 2016.

Before Addiction: I have four Percocets and three Xanax bars, I have death in a bottle.

After Addiction: These twelve Vicodins, six Xanax and two Valiums arent doing SHIT.

When you finally work up the nerve to inhale powder up your nose or stick a needle through your arm, that’s when you know you’ve gone too far. You’ve taken the road you promised yourself you’d never go down. That’s okay. Just make sure to eventually promise yourself you’ll find your way back. You’ll thank yourself later. Drugs will never feel better than finally learning to respect yourself enough to move on and keep fighting.

No one ever said addiction was fun. So why does everyone keep referring to it as ‘partying’? The party ended a long time ago

Recovery is hard. You’ll spend a lot of nights listening to the saddest music possible while crying your eyes out. During the first few months, your mind will convince you that you’re just not strong enough. That yes, recovery works for some people, but it’s just not for you. Every recovering addict felt that way at one point. Recovery is for you, because just like your best friend or the person you love, you’re worth saving, too. You don’t see it now, but you will. If recovery wasn’t worth it, if saving yourself wasn’t worth it, nobody would ever talk about how amazing the journey is.
