House Fires (Signed Book)

by Connor Franta

Overview

I'm thankful for it all, really. The pain and the pleasure. All the quiet joys and the loud despairs. The rosy peaks and the indigo valleys. I've been shaped by every second of every minute. Constructed into a chronicle. Refined by my own autonomy. Born to never occur again, But, watch me bleed until the sun sets.
