This world will use you and spit you out.

Trust me.

I know from experience.


I’m only so young.


But yet I’ve lived so much.

The longer I live.

The harder it gets to escape.

To escape the horror of this world.

GreenTomatoe,
too true
scars
A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. It says the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. There is a beauty in my scars that I can see now.

This reminds me so much of GOLDWING by Billie eilish.

“Goldwing, Angel, go home don’t tell anyone what you are
You’re sacred, and their starved, and their art is getting dark
And there you are, to tear apart (tear apart)”

One of my favorite of hers. It’s how I feel about my little sister in this world, and my little nieces. Untouched by trauma in this world, but probably not for long.

song: Goldwing
album: Happier Than Ever
