#socialLife on the Web
There’s something quite liberating about having a complete mental breakdown on social media. There’s no more hiding. There’s no more pretending to be perfect or normal. Everything is exposed, the darkness, madness, and naked brilliance is laid bare for the world to gawk confused at.

And you call yourself a BiSexual?!

Fiberglass.
I was shopping for a new mattress. I read all these reviews on the ones that come in a box and puff up when the air hits them. There was this one with a zipper. Don’t open the zipper, they said. They don’t tell you there’s fiberglass inside. It explodes into the air and gets in all your things, your hair, your clothes, your lungs. And I thought. Love. It’s like that. You take a lover to bed and one day you’ve opened that zipper and those tiny shards are everywhere. Memory. Can’t be put back. Not even time can cleanse it. You feel them in your lungs when you take a deep breath after exercise, a fuck.
