#the cathouse

The very first live performance at Cathouse was Guns N' Roses, Jet Boy, LA Guns, and Faster Pussycat, all taking turns playing acoustic; nobody had record deals. We probably had five hundred people there. Nobody knew Guns N' Roses would become the biggest band in the world.

Cathouse ! 🔥

[tearfulangel]

there was nothing left of you, but he squeezed

all those times he did what he pleased

those scars must really run deep

and all that hurt comes out in one scream

I don't know what infernal bordello this is but he fits right in 😝

i need a redo of 2015-2019 i need to try again i could do it better this time i could be more this time. i could love and cherish the people who were in my life then like they deserve. i could fix things, fix myself now that i know. i need to go back with the knowledge and mental maturity i have now. i need to go back and save that helpless girl who i don’t recognise as myself. she was scared and hurting and sabotaging herself and hurting people around her. people witnessing the life i lived must have been horrified. disgusted. disappointed. it’s humiliating and shameful. i want to try again i want to make it all right.
