Today I went to a cemetery for the first time. I expected it to have this heavy and gloomy ambiance, but actually it was very peaceful. It’s the only place in town I could hear the birds chirping clearly. I was sad to see that no one was there paying respects. Just me and a vast garden of graves. There was a guy my age who died and had this big ornate monument and two cans of arizona next to it. M... » Continue Reading
I've been "reading" Interview With the Vampire for probably about a year, and I've been stuck a little more than halfway through for months now. I've been seeing stills from the movie pop up on my pinterest, and I'm curious about the movie, but I also want to finish the book first. Is the movie worth finishing the book? Or should I just take my time reading it since that's the best medium for the ... » Continue Reading
There's an urge inside me to completely shed my skin and become a new person. I'd compare it to wanting to be someone else, but it's not as if there's a person in mind that I would want to be. It feels more like a rejection of self, and I'm not sure if it's rooted in self hatred or just boredom.

It's a lyric from the song Nettles by Ethel Cain. I resonate with it a lot because I feel like I've missed out on the childhood that most boys have. Running after school to in-out, or to the gym, or the mall. Getting on the game every night to talk shit. Sharing a hobby together as rivals like mma or skateboarding, and giving your all to be better than one another. I do all these things on my own ... » Continue Reading
I absolutely hate my body. First, I despise what I was born as. I feel like I downplay it to others, but honestly I’m so disgusted with everything that comes with being male. Body hair, facial hair, that little shadow you get even if you shave everything off. The way my hips sink in, my love handles, how blocky my torso looks. But I was born like this, and there’s things to like about it. Like the... » Continue Reading
Has anyone else felt a sense of dread for things that should be celebrated like graduating and birthdays or other life events? Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always hated my birthday because every year it was a reminder of how little friends or family I had. Soon, I’ll be graduating from college, which I am proud of, to an extent. I’m glad to be done with it, I think. But there’s also a piece of me ... » Continue Reading
