Favorite Quote:
"Weighed down under the shallow sunrise, the radiance seeping through my aqua ceiling, and reminding me that I chased my own demise--we've all constructed our own ends with the illusions of beginnings."

And I'll take back my tears now.
And I'll take back my pride.
I'll take back my life.
All those reasons to hide.
I'll take back that The Cure CD
And maybe my red heels?
And definitely that eyeliner.
Oh, and those film reels.
Ill take back my life.
That one without you.
Hey, can I have that box back too?
Yeah, that one.
Next to your shoes.
See this box?
It has a heart.
The one you're about to lose.
