my witness is the empty sky

I live for music, laughter, knowledge, love. I am who I am and I do what I want--and frankly my dears, I just don't give a fuck.

the blog I dedicated to my beautiful girl.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
-Jack Kerouac.

"I am a forest and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness will find banks full of roses under my cypresses."
-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

“Circle what you think you might need:

  • for me to come and hold you
  • for me to stay outside your door but play you some music
  • for me to play music for you inside your room
  • for me to ask you questions
  • for me to just be near and be silent
  • for me to hold your hand while you call your other family
  • to talk about the rest of the family
  • to go outside and scream
  • to talk about anything but this death
  • to get away from here
  • go to a movie
  • distraction
  • acknowledgment
  • some kind of ceremony
  • to get the rest of the roommates out of the house
  • to get the rest of the roommates to stop giving you uncomfortable looks
  • to get people to stop trying to cheer you up
  • to tell everyone else that this is the anniversary day
  • to tell you that all the mixed things you feel are okay
  • to tell you the things i love about you
  • to tell you that this is the worst thing you’ll ever know
  • to tell you that i want to know everything. it is not a burden.

circle what you think you might need. or write more. i want to be here for you. i want to be your friend”.]
