Proving a point to my boyfriend.

PLEASE REBLOG if you (male or female) believe it is perfectly okay and natural for a guy of any age to cry

Person: Wow you are so open and honest when you talk

Me internally: 88% percent of this talk was accidental word-vomit™ and oversharing™

Hey guys, I am raging- so I got back from London yesterday and I got ready to write the next few chapters on google docs, and the fucking internet is down- I can’t access any of my shiz I’m so annoyed because I want to write but I can’t and I wouldn’t be able to publish chapters from my phone as they are too long. So I’m so annoyed to say that until the internet sorts itself out there will be no chapters - I promise once it’s resolved I’ll be back, im so sorry to let y’all down.

But on a positive not pearl jam were fucking incredible and the setlist was perfect- and as a bonus Stone sang Mankind 💗

I don’t think it will ever stop hurting to know that Chris Cornell is gone. I don’t think I will ever stop wishing it weren’t true. I don’t think a day will ever pass when I don’t think about what could’ve been, and all that we missed out on. But at the same time, there will never be a moment when I’m not thankful for all that he did give us in the time he was here. My admiration, adoration, and gratitude towards that man will never fade, and as I get older, my appreciation of him and his work will continue to grow ever stronger.

[ssamajorminus]

I miss you everyday Chris 💔 I hope you are having an amazing time up there with Andy, Layne, Kurt and all the other legends we’ve lost 💔💔💔

This is just a long ramble, feel free to scroll past.

I cannot believe it’s been a year since we lost the wonderful, talented Chris Cornell. I want to write a long post about how much him and his music mean to me, and how the Superunknown album helped me through some of the hardest times in my life- and how I grew up with my mum blasting soundgarden in the way to school and how we used to sing along, Chris Cornell is such a huge part of my life and it breaks my heart that he’s gone.

I can remember exactly where I was this time last year, I’d been at my Dad’s and it had been horrible and stressful and I just wanted to come home, I walked through the door and the news was on in the living room I remember seeing photos of Chris on the tv and being confused, then I saw the headline and I felt this shift- it didn’t feel real. And sometimes it still doesn’t.

Chris Cornell helped me to get through so much shit just by singing and doing his thing, and I am so grateful he lived. I love you chris 💔

“No one sings like you anymore”

“There's sadness to anyone that dies before their time, and specifically ones that seem to affect people in a positive way. It doesn't matter if it's Whitney Houston or a nameless, faceless person on the street. That's just as big of a tragedy for me.”

~Chris Cornell
