troubled icon: Gia Carangi

"Life and death, energy and peace, if i stop today it was still worth it.
Even the terrible mistakes, that I have made and would have unmade if I could.
The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul,
it was worth it for having been allowed to walk where I've walked.
Which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under,
far in between, through it, in it and above..."
Gia Marie Carangi (1960-1986)
