What's a wallflower wildcat to do?
I want to capture every meaningful thought I have ever had. I want to immortalize my life in bodies of writing complete with beauty marks and scars and physical defining features that make my life so defiantly mine. I want to contemplate why I haven't yet gotten any tattoos even though my life has had... Continue Reading →
I have never been one for fads, always flocking to the reliable, steady, and classic with friends, fashion, and fandoms.
