tattoos. worn leather. mismatched rings. undone ties. faded polaroids. vintage records. half-burnt candles. reckless nights. jazz bars. piano melodies. shattered glass. red wine stains. cigarette smoke curling in the dark. controversy. defiance. bad habits, worse decisions. mischief. muffled laughter. eyeliner smudges. midnight musings. late-night confessions. unmade beds. situashionships. all-consuming passions. grudges held too long. spotlights. velvet curtains. crumpled playbills. standing ovations. lights, camera, action. red carpets. anotated scripts. monologues. dog-eared books. messy journals. creativity. rawness. obsession. perfectionism. overcast skies before rain. seaside cliffs. roadtrips. passport stamps. fleeting escapes. laying in your own bed after being gone for too long.

understand that there is a beast within you that can drink till it is sick, but cannot drink till it is satisfied.
