A Guide On How To Be Dead:

“A Guide on how to be Dead:

i. pretend the world

is crushing you into hell

and that your body

is now Satan’s footstool

ii. embody the pure feeling

of disappointment

iii. become everyone’s doormat

just in case your real career

doesn’t pan out

iv. acknowledge

that the beating in your chest

is an actual time bomb

waiting to go off

and bring death

v. find joy in one thing only

and stake your happiness

on the off chance that you

actually have time for it

vi. die

vii. douse your insides

with alcohol at 3:48 AM

while you’re completely alone

to realize that in life,

you’re completely alone”

It's been such a long time since I've been on tumblr, but it always cheers me up to know your passion still exists every time I get the privilege to come across it.

Aww… Thank you so much! I love when people keep up with my writing. It’s so encouraging! Thank you 💕💕

vans, for the name association thing! 😊💙

Fringe dancing in the sunset. The unique, 90s-esque person in a friend group. Painfully breaking in new shoes. Sorbet. Drenched from walking down the sidewalk in the rain. Blue filters.

“I’ve tasted death

in the thick of the night

with walls closing in, throat

closing up,

barely

breathing.”

“Her eyes were lined with

the filigree of romance;

gently shimmering.”

-EL

“I suppose I held on too tight

to the rose in my palm

for its petals quickly turned

to blood and dripped

to the ground

as honey from a spoon.”
