If you have a moment (or two or three really) check out the Winter issue of Freckled magazine, an online zine I was asked to contribute something to for their winter issue. It’s absolutely beautiful and...

cartographe:
I’d like to be traced blindly by fingertips, because there are parts of faces you can only see by touching them. I’d like to know the names of every bone in the body - clavicle, atlas, radius - I’d teach them to you like they were poems embed them between your knuckles; store them in the knots of your spine.

songsforbirds asked: I feel like I can't breathe. I don't know who else to talk to. I broke up with my ex several months ago, and now we're just friends. He turned into this total ass, and I couldn't figure out why I was still with him. He just wasn't the person I fell in love with anymore. And it's hard, you know? It's so damn hard. He's in the military now though, so I never...
