i’m so sorry but you wanna talk about best short films of all time…. cause let’s wake it up.
Yall really just wouldn’t get it — I think about this little short story so often. I would replay the scene where they cuddle and he caresses his scars in the bed on loop everyday at 7 am and cry in the parking lot my senior year of high school before going to class cause im a REAL LOVER. I have doubts on my ability to be able to ever be in a romantic relationship now. it’s been so long and I feel flawed. I think back when i was 18 and naive with so much yearning for an experience i knew very little about. I’ve found shards of love and lust these past years but they’ve cut more than pieced together. I wonder if i’ll ever feel the way i did when I was 18. I was so sad because i thought i could be happy in love. I’m 24 now apathetic to it all cause deep down i know i don’t think i can be happy with love. like real lover license is expiring and fast i fear. will_anybody_ever_love_me-sufjans_stevens.mp3. and at the same time im just like girl shut the fuck up and get over it but i cantttt something celestial is tearing and tying my heartstrings on repeat.
