My violent need for combat boots is TOO FAR. Where are they? Where are they? It is time to steal
You don’t need to explain your sense of style to anyone. You want to wear a dress? Great. You want to wear a suit? Great. You want to shave your eyebrows off, paint your face like a demon goat and walk around in 7-inch heels? You do you sweetie.

I am, like all art, quite useless
Liking girls is NOT my only personality trait! I am also sad
oh to wear a knife strapped against my thigh beneath a silk dress
I’m an open book, but written in a cryptic dead language.
i am once again fighting the urge to fake my own death, move to a small city, and open a little bakery/bookshop where people can escape from the harsh reality.
