Southern Decay

@southerndecay / southerndecay.tumblr.com

2008 - 2015 The low life has lost its appeal. Rebecca Rae is an artist, wanderer, waif, and currently located in Brooklyn, New York by way of Birmingham, Alabama.
Dedicated to the human condition, Southern Decay was an exercise in confession, an experiment in documentation of one's life, thoughts, and experience. To celebrate the everyday life through music, thought, cuisine, fashion, literature, and art. In hopes to inspire confidence and courage in young women with guidance through my personal achievements and struggles, to find solace in their own mind and individuality, and find the strength to pursue their dreams. Rebecca Rae left Southern Decay in 2015 after managing the blog for 7 years to pursue other projects. You can still follow her adventures on Instagram, @southerndecay.

Little to no importance: # 241

There's a scar on my chin from last winter, when the ice and sidewalk conspired against me. There's another on my right wrist, its origins unknown. The index finger on the right is still crooked from being sliced in  all those years ago. My left forearm still has the stain of an oil burn that refuses to fade. The most obvious is that which crowns my head and stretches from ear to ear.  Fair skin punctuated with red dots and pink lines, small reminders of mistakes made, a nearly indivisible map to navigate my own personal history.

How on earth do you find men in this town! I seem to have no luck with it whatsoever.

I’ve been very lucky to meet some incredible men in my time here, it’s true. To be perfectly honest, I met my last serious significant other and my current mister through a ridiculous app on which you frantically swipe left and right through a bevy of potentials.

The last few weeks in photos: I've been absent, and spring has finally come to New York. Good things are happening.

I've been struggling lately. 

Last year, I was hiding away in the apartment with the guy I was seeing at the time It was in the middle of some idiotic romance comedy that my phone rang with my dad on the line. It was that night he told me he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I cried until my sides hurt despite him telling me it was ok, that with the medications now he would be fine. I believed him, eventually. Everything would be fine and carry on as usual. 

It wasn't until I spoke to him a couple weeks ago that it hit me hard again. 

"Rebecca, all I was trying to do was twist the tie on the bread, and it was such a fucking chore".

I haven't seen my dad since May, when Rich and I went down for my brother's wedding. He seemed fine then, but apparently things are deteriorating more quickly than expected. 

I want to go home so badly, it's made me so sad in every other aspect of my day to day. I miss my dad.
