I am not meant for casual. I was born for soul crushing devotion. ✩
“To be loved means to be consumed. To love is to give light with inexhaustible oil. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.”

My heart is like a haunted house
There's things in there that scratch about
They make their music in the night
And in the day they give me such a fright
— Haunted House - Florence and the Machine
“I’m locked out of my home. No, I can’t recognize my home. I grabbed the wrong keys. The house has been painted a different color. There is music inside but I don’t understand the words. There is smoke inside, but nothing is burning.”— Noor Hindi, from DEAR GOD. DEAR BONES. DEAR YELLOW. ;“Pledging Allegiance”
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please, don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
— there is a light that never goes out - the Smiths
Mi cuerpo es una casa encantada
en la que me extravío.
No hay puertas pero sí cuchillos
y un centenar de ventanas.
— Jacqui Germain
