Myself

0. You can be conceived and born into a world without being wanted.

1. alcohol is like water you can drown in it

2. the first time you hear the words “you” and “mistake” in the same sentence, it will hurt.

3. you will have made a mistake or you will be the mistake

4. when you’re young, a bandaid and a kiss can cure a scraped knee but when you’re falling on the concrete and crying out for death, a kiss will feel like poison and you’ll need the band aids for your wrists.

5. the first man to break your heart will be your father, when he crawls into the bottom of the whiskey bottle and refuses to come out.

6. long sleeves and cold days will become your best friend
