05UndatedTwo sad eyes and one skanky smile, I practically pulse with the promise of promiscuity. I'm easy to catch, but too slippery to hold onto. Men love a challenge if the prize is guaranteed. I know how to start a fight while deepthroating a white flag.Kris Kidd / quote ↗

16UndatedI dye my jeans jet black once a week, but they never seem dark enough. I bleach my hair bright white twice a month but it never seems light enough. I drink two and a half bottles of champagne every night but I never seem drunk enough. And I know I’m not high enough until someone grabs my face to check my vision to see if I’m still responsive— And even then, I’m thinking to myself that I should probably do one more line, you know, just to be safe.Kris Kidd / quote ↗
17UndatedIn the mirror I stand, an injured deer in headlights, or maybe high beams, judging by the way my eyes water.

We fuck up in the hopes that future fuckups will learn from us.Kris Kidd / quote ↗
21UndatedWhen you’re finally finished crying, I hope you run as fast and as far as you possibly can from me.

Feel free to repress me.Kris Kidd / quote ↗
