About   

When you start isotretinoin (Accutane), your dermatologist usually increases the dosage gradually. I just started my second round and asked not to begin low and work my way up — I wanted to start at the highest dose right away. My poor face and lips… they’re sensitive, super dry, and a little sore. 🤧🫣

Of course I know you. I’ve seen you before, well… I dreamed of you. But no, not really a dream per se, more like a feeling. I felt you. Wasn’t it you? That warm sensation in my spine, the winged bugs in my chest, as you passed in front of me… I could have sworn it smelled like how you smell. No, I don’t know you. You just look like… like you could make me happy. Your hands, they seem crafty, quick-thinking fingers, able to weave my sorrow into something else… could you stay long enough to teach me? Do you know me? I hope not or at least not who I was ten years ago, or even last night. I’m not like that anymore, except for the parts I still keep. I tried, I really did, but I can’t unlearn it. We could learn each other…get to know each other. I can turn anything into a joke, really. I could make your lips ache from smiling… at least I’d try. Do you have stories? I’d love to listen to them; who wronged you, and how you made it right for you. Would you like a coffee? The kettle’s on. Sparkling water? No? I made hummus, and I still have some leftover cake. If this is nothing, let it be a good nothing.

Biggest fear is that I am building you for another man, greatest blessing is that I am building you into the man you were always meant to be, even if I don’t get to keep you.

I want an olive branch tattoo around my neck/shoulder, but some friends told me it’s “too basic.” 😩 Please — am I wrong for thinking I’d look hot with it? 🤧 I think I’d look cool🫣

Have you ever felt like you were suffocating? Like trying, trying and trying, but going nowhere, never managing to get where you want to be in life? Feeling stuck despite all the efforts you make? Have you ever had this deep feeling that you’re meant for great things, financially and in love too, but that something keeps blocking your success? I’m trying… but I’m tired of being strong all the time, all by myself.

I loved only once. It was that wild kind of love when you’re only content when he’s around. Or when he’s replying. Or when you’re anticipating time you will spend together. Healthy? Absolutely not. He had a girlfriend. But we still loved. Smelling his clothes would turn me on immediately. Would bring me joy better than any food or drugs. It was a drug on its own. Having him near me and feeling the touch of his buddy made me think that’s all I need in life. We could simply be caught in that moment forever and I would never ask for anything more. That moment, that touch, that warmth of our bodies was enough

Welcome to my graveyard Where all my ideas have died To be reborn again In the form of a Frankenstein Hopefully you’ll love him more Than what you loved me when I lived Don’t worry about hurting him His heart is cold His heart is shut And no one is allowed in it. I’ll come back like an angel when I’m ready to love again With a warm open heart, ready to give again. Right now, I’m dead. Enjoy my death It’s beautiful.

Drifting in a silent sea Of blue and green medleys Atop driftwood rocking In a never ending sway A lantern in the distance Standing proud within the mist Specks of a distant dream Flickering haze, lost to clouds As night rises to meet the stars Gazing empty along the waves The lighthouse soon gone As we wash ashore on glassy sand And in shreds of aged fashion Step after step, dripping wet Glassy feet on starlit beach Toward a shattered light Flickering above the rocky cliffs Above the silent sea
