Note
i’m gonna be a massive dick and ask: 1-100
HAHAHAH alright well here we go then. Also thank you from saving me from the world’s most boring lecture rn.
Everything will be under a read more inorder to save people’s dash but feel free to learn more about me haha.
1. The meaning behind my url: 
I feel like its kinda self explanatory. I made this back when I was a giant 5sos fan and I’m too lazy to change it and idk what I would change it to if I did. I might soon though.
2. A picture of me:
Tumblr media
3. How many tattoos i have and what they are:
I have 1 tattoo currently and it’s a pinky promise. I got it with a former friend. I have a couple more planned I just need money for them.
4. Last time i cried and why:
Like 2 weeks ago because I miss social interaction.
5. Piercings i have:
I have my ears pierced but never wear earrings, I have another set of piercings and I used to have my nose pierced but it got ripped out at work one day. Do not reccommend it hurt like a bitch.
6. Favorite band:
Not a band per say but I’ve really been into Tones and I lately, specifically never felt the rain.
7. Biggest turn offs:
Definitely not being motivated. I am very driven and like for sure have goals that I am working towards and want to achieve and when someone just has no goals (even small ones) makes me feel like I’m dragging them along and acting as their mother almost. Also people who can’t keep a conversation, like I’m not really one for small talk like I’d rather talk about the mysteries of the universe you know.
8. Top 5 (insert subject):
You didn’t provide a subject so I’m just gonna say songs:
Never felt the rain - Tones and I
Is everybody going crazy? - Nothing but thieves
Complainer - Cold War Kids
Trampoline - Shaed
Don’t stop me now - Queen (permanently in top 5)
9. Tattoos i want:
I have several lined up. My next is going to be a crow with some minimalist geometric lining in the back and some hydrangeas and delphiniums around it on my forearm. Next I’m going to get a small snapdragon along the outside of my forearm. Then I want to get my thigh pieces done one will be a watercolor tree and the other will be watercolor mountains and it’ll have some quotes underneath them.
10. Biggest turn ons:
I like assertive people who aren’t dickheads. 
11. Age:
22
12. Ideas of a perfect date:
I’m super easy to please so pretty much any place where we can actually do something because i find that that helps break through the awkwardness of dates.
13. Life goal:
To buy my mom a house and live close to my family
14. Piercings i want:
My nose repierced, maybe like a double nose piercing idk yet.

Happily single

Autonomy
I was really in a mood and needed to get this out so it would stop scratching my brain raw. I have final papers to write.
My hair is really short now. I cropped it almost to the scalp two or so months ago. It was good to make my head my own. The voice inside it didn’t sound so much like you after. Remember the first time I dyed my hair blue? I did it to make you angry. I wanted you to hurt me. It’s easier to understand when I deserve it. The second and third time I did it was to drive you out of my head. The third time stuck until I realized I hated it and the dye job was so bad and I buzzed it all off. The clippers sounded like you laughing in the way you did between hurling insults at me when I made a childish mistake. My hair is the color of peach Fanta now and I don’t feel anything anymore except apprehension. I want my ears repierced over the summer. And I’ll add an industrial while I’m at it. For a while, if I keep pressing at it, the pain might be enough to stop me from looking for trouble in alleyways and outside bars with cigarettes in one pocket and my knife in the other in case shit gets out of control (though it kinda already is I guess).
I ask my friends why they hugged me today. I ask them every time, or I try to discern the answer in my head. I am getting better at not flinching away when they lift a hand to pat my head or scritch my scalp. I don’t want to talk about them anymore. They are good and you have taken enough good things from me.
The guy I fucked in the backseat of his car when I was too young to be wandering about at 2am was another ‘fuck you’ that cost me, too. I was mad at myself about it for a while. It got easier not to care when you left me alone and the world taught me that my body was commodity enough to trade for scraps that would keep me alive. I fucking hate sex now, and everything to do with it. I hate that it feels good in the moment and then I feel filthy afterward. I hate that if I want to get myself off I have to swallow the fucking nausea and disgust at myself. I hate that sex, not even making love, but sex, is something that leaves you so vulnerable.  I didn’t know enough to keep them from stealing pieces of me away. I did not know how to stop myself from creating intimacy with people who didn’t care. You never gave me the chance to learn. Your hands were as greedy as theirs and I know you feel about as much shame as well.
I was friends with the guy that raped me (though he’s only one of many if you count the grown men whose hands spanned my underage body as they slavered over what they knew was a kid). His name was Chris. I met him the same way I met all the other men who stole what little childhood you left in my eyes. But he was sweet to me. We chatted and laughed and I invited him naively to hang out at the house. I had been so lonely. I wanted someone to be nonsense with, someone who was interested and would partake in the things that interested me. I said he would help with homework and you said no boys upstairs. That was my fault. I had intended to take him up there to give him a look at my room, and then play Xbox in the loft. He laid me in my bed and drew sounds out of me I didn’t know I could make. You had thrown out my condoms after the last time I had been hospitalized and he only had one. I was scared but vindicated when you found the Plan B wrapper under my bed while snooping. Did you know then how I had learned not to trust you? I hope it hurt. Because it still hurts me that I invited him over again, thinking him my friend. It still hurts that I was scared from last time, deeply shaken at how close I’d flown to the sun, but he wouldn’t relent. It still hurts that the night before I was frightened enough to talk to someone online about the boundaries being crossed but never once considered asking for your help. It still hurts how I tried to put on children’s cartoons, to nap, even to squirm away, but he prodded until he was able to pull that reluctant ‘yes’ from my throat and I let him have me twice, pretended to us both that I wanted it from start to finish, because it was easier to shame myself for being promiscuous than confront the reality of coerced consent. It took me years to call that incident by its name. I’m still not so sure sometimes.
I am 3,000 miles away from you and it and all of them. And yet everything is right here with me. I have taken my body away from all of you. I am still struggling to regain my mind.
