She always had that about her, the sparkle in her eye, she was unshakeable and what made her so admirable was; her ability to shine bright when no one knew of her pain.

[sinligh]

I’m soft spoken,

In a way that contrasts my sharp teeth and my pointed corners.

Unapproachable, unapologetic yet, open and falling apart at the seams

Fierce, and guarded with expectations that are as high as my walls, the same walls I spend my days painting the colors of all the flowers I have never received.

Lavender to grey Girlhood to decay

I yearn for things that will wither if I dare to embrace and my moral compass is almost always out of my hands reach. I exchange a piece of it for every new defense mechanism i pick up, and I regret nothing…

not even my tongue that is still stuck in my windpipe because in my hast to run away from spotlight I forgot to tuck it right.

I hold on to ghosts of sentiments that i let filter through me

I, a distant soul that walk through earth aimlessly.

I linger but my traces refuse to hold I don’t get close because i can’t afford being left behind, I dwindle, but i don’t let anyone touch me because being starved taught me that we don’t need to overanalyze the intentions behind every touch; we just need to prevent ourselves from getting hurt.

It’s a collective we, because I learned to stand behind a wall of who I’m supposed to be.

Even if I do it inadequately.

I’m hypersensitive, yet i’d rather shed my own skin than cling to unwanted love that have no potential for growth.

I’m lovable, that much I know

but I don’t believe in falling, It’s not that I don’t want to believe in an unadulterated emotion..

but however I look at at love. it seems fabricated

So now, i only want it with a pre-negotiated price.

With a clear definition and stable steps that I can take one at a time.

That’s how it goes for kindnesses too, as something in me believes that we need to earn it.

Maybe it’s the part of me that i inherited from my mother,

the same part that is still searching for ways to sacrifice more, otherwise we’re selfish.

In the video stormy says MICK TOLD NIKKI SHE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM, AND HE KISSED HER ON THE CHEEK. I WOULD HAVE DIED OMG

…snitch LMAOOO oh he’s a snitch nooooo. that would kill me, literally put me in a coma. so i see he’s the type of dad to completely embarrass his kids, got it. it’s cute that nikki played along and was nice to her though. trust if that was me i’d be on the floor immediately!! she better have rocked peepaw’s shit though cause that was pure evil!

(is this just the universal dad experience? like do dads just automatically snitch on you for no reason? he probably thought that was so funny too like i can imagine him laughing in the background while his kid is beet red and going through the shock of her life)

(another side note: stormy was living every nikki stans dream right there…good for her!)
