Incorrect Asethetics

Drugs

Suck me harder and call me whore. Now drugs are controversial I know, but they do hold an aesthetic to them. For instance weed holds a mesmerizing smoke to it and people love to photograph it and smoke it. Others live for the effects of drugs as I do.  The effects of consuming a drug are repulsing yet somehow mesmerizing. The difference between before drug use and after drug use are absolutely astonishing. I could easily fall into the mess of features that are strewn on the face of a drug user. The utter decomposition of a person is fascinating, yet repulsing at the same time.  An odd, but very interesting combination of abomination and tragedy. Honestly, I could go on and on, but there's an even more interesting aspect to drugs. The damage they inflict. Drugs are such a raging monster that even the most docile can turn into a vicious volcano of rage. Destruction follows the footsteps of drugs like grief follows death. Quite sad, isn't it? To be perfectly frank with you, I don't even think that drug users are ever okay. The psychological damage inflicted on them carries on into their life with them. And with mental illness being romanticized and made into aesthetics, how can we look at the trauma as anything but 'beautiful' and 'strong.' I disagree with the whole concept of romanticizing mental illness, because it lessens the true ugliness of what a mental illness is and causes people to think that mental illness in entirely trivial and made up. That concept needs to go. However, I have made this book to be about incorrect aesthetics, so I have to include any aesthetics that could be considered incorrect, just to be fair. The damage is mesmerizing to an extent, sure, I won't fight you on that; but that doesn't make it any less ugly when it comes to the mental illness involved. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a rambling weirdo.
