that's my secret - I'm always angry

"I could resurrect the dead, but I choose to resurrect the living." (Menachem Mendel of Kotsk)

Thanatophiliac, mental patient, and university student. Depression and anxiety and vague body dysmorphia and PTSD. I write and I reblog lots of gothy things and occasional fandom things. I take a lot of pictures of myself to help with my body image issues. I'm scared of politics and intimacy. I worship the 19th century aesthetes: "In such an ugly time, the true protest is beauty."

The French tightrope walker Blondin and his manager. In 1859 he became the first man to cross the gorge below the Niagara Falls on a tightrope. After this first success Blondin repeated the stunt several times while performing more daring tricks including crossing whilst blindfolded, wearing stilts, carrying his petrified manager on his back, pushing a wheelbarrow and on one occasion cooking and eating an omelette.
