The name is Alexandria. Just moved to Portland, OR. Coffee black, whiskey neat, lips red. Bibliophile, autodidact, hopeless idealist. Slight obsession with Egon Schiele, maps, bones, the sea, the moon, hands, and treehouses. Proponent of the oxford comma, huge fan of ellipses. I like holding champagne in my mouth until my eyes water, the sound of tent zippers and train horns, handwritten letters, kissing, campfires, ambiguity, stacks of books, playing music with my band, and blanket forts. Travel, adventure, exploring...



Instagram: dullscissors. (But I kind of forget it exists far too often and do not use it enough. I am working on getting better at this).

Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.

My dog understands the word “No,” so how are you going to tell me teenage boys don’t know the difference between rape and consent?

Nailed it.

Quote reblogged from INCH BY FUCKING INCH with 206 notes

The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.

Abortion seems to be the only medical procedure that people want to deny you based on how you got in that situation.

Drove drunk, got in an accident and need an organ transplant? No problem.

Messing around with a gun, accidentally shoot yourself in the leg and need surgery? Of course.

Smoke tobacco for most of your life and need treatment for lung cancer? Yep.

Climb a tree, fall out and break your leg? We’ll fix that right up.

Have sex and get pregnant when you don’t want to be? YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS SITUATION AND YOU DESERVE NO MEDICAL HELP OR COMPASSION! THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND YOU WILL DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!
