“I think the reason why hoping is scary is because it presents the opportunity for disappointment. When we hope things will get better and they dont, we risk allowing ourselves to be hurt. But something I’ve come to believe as a serial bleeding-heart haver is that it is way more worth it to try and fail, to hope and be let down, than to give in to the laziness of nihilism”
— Julien Baker
I love how with most bands their instagram is all very official but then you turn to AJJ and it’s like “here’s a lizard I met and also Sean did a sick kick flip yesterday”

plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome
talking is so stressful and so much energy. if im upset and you ask me to talk i will fucking cry

My Conspiracy Theory
But I think there’s a god and he hears either way …. i rejoice
Maybe it’s all gonna turn out alright and I know that its not but I have to believe that it is
maybe the emptiness is just a lesson in canvasses
and besides I’m starting to get used to the gap
pinned to the mattress like an insect to styrofoam/ all my prayers are just apologies
Grit my teeth and try to act deserving / When I know there’s nowhere I can hide from your humiliating grace …. and I would go to church on sunday
rom the sting, paper sheets, bloodwork and the IV / And the whirring machines while the nurses reassure me
(I know I shouldn’t act this way in public)
But I’ve kissed enough bathroom sinks to make up for the lovers that never loved me/ And I know my body is just dirty clothes
And I just let the parking lot swallow me up / Choking your tires, and kicking up dust / Asking aloud why you’re leaving / But the pavement won’t answer me
