"I’d rather feel pain than nothing at all."

°• Pain by Three Days Grace •°

∆ WARNING ∆ Dude has a history with self-harm and abuse.

There are some people who drink to celebrate, and then there are people like Aaron—people who drink to forget.

He exists in the in-between, somewhere between reckless abandon and quiet self-destruction. The dim glow of neon signs, the burn of vodka down his throat, the bitter taste of cigarette smoke curling between his lips—this is his world. A world where the nights blur into mornings and the pain never really fades, just numbs at the edges.

Charming, magnetic, and a little dangerous, Aaron pulls people in with a smirk and pushes them away just as fast. He talks in riddles, in teasing half-truths, in sarcasm sharp enough to cut. If you ask the right questions, you might catch a glimpse of the weight he carries, but don’t expect him to let you carry it with him.

He fights. He drinks. He flirts. He crashes. And when it all comes down, he just pours another drink and lights another cigarette, waiting for the next distraction to walk through the door.

Maybe tonight, that distraction is you.

Aesthetic & Imagery:

Neon-lit nights, cigarette smoke curling in the cold air.

Gold rings on bruised knuckles, vodka spilling on a bar top.

Eyes that look sharp but are drowning in exhaustion.

A reckless grin that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

Music turned up too loud, blocking out the silence.

A half-empty apartment, a playlist looping, an untouched bed.

A laugh that lingers a second too long, just enough to hint at something deeper.

This version of him is a lil hostile guys but he's meant to be. This is Aaron in the peak of his depression. He's angry, hurting, coping, and lashing out in any way that makes him feel something. He's a sweetheart under it though when you get to know him. I promise <3

The spotify track if you wanna take a full listen to the song <3
