Lying Odysseus Replied, ‘I Will Tell You The Truth Completely.’

it’s so hard to maintain a chill aesthetic when you have a raging temper and uncontrollable need to have the last word no matter how petty the situation

shout out to everyone who was forced to internalize all their emotions growing up and now have a constant underlying anger that colors every part of their lives bc they never got to learn how to process their feelings

It’s a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves?

               a WOLF is a WOLF.

                                               even in a CAGE.

                                                                         even dressed in SILK.

i am learning to sharpen my teeth and rule kingdoms, instead.
