— i always find the harsh, the dark, the real and the ugly to be superior to surface, the beautiful, the flawless. flaws are perfection, scars (mental or physical) are beautiful, bruises are a reminder that we have lived. when i was deeply depressed i always wanted to leave a beautiful corpse, now i want to live to old age and age gracefully with wrinkled hands and visible veins.
