November aesthetics: 'Eros' by Ludovico Einaudi, black coffee, chaotic notes from the previous night, constant headaches and fatigue, screams at midnight, dripping candle wax, cold bed, insomnia, reading William Blake's biography.

read in 2019. the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde

you will always be fond of me. i represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.

attention !

as my soul longs for another's company, I subsequently am looking for one to converse with, a pen pal of sorts, ideally sharing an interest in the following:

• dark academia

• classical architecture

• roman & greek classicism

• latin (in lingua)

• the secret history

• classical literature

• an interest in reading in general

• open to the possibility of exchanging letters ?

• a passion for music

• a love for the obscure and esoteric

• a proclivity toward sesquipidalianism

• a tired soul confined to the body of one in their late teens

any (or none) will suffice, I am simply looking for someone to talk to and in turn who is willing to talk back 🖤

just minded my own business reading about asparagus on Wikipedia when I suddenly encounter This

You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.

Things, I'm madly in love with:

books (classic and modern, poetry and novels, old and new)

penmanship

art (looking for art, creating art, being art)

vintage porcelain (especially with golden lines)

combine my clothes for that special look that I need today

Oscar Wilde

religious studies

tattoos

flea markets, second hands, vintage and antique stores, where I can find pieces with their own history

music halls with tall ceilings and great shiny chandeliers

Greece, Italy, United Kingdom

collecting different strange things – from animal bones and dry flowers to glass bottles and old greeting cards

natural history

botanic

creating my own beautiful world

things to include in a letter to your overseas pen-pal

that one sticker you were saving

pressed flowers from a walk around your neighborhood

book quotes that made you laugh

paint swatches of colors that remind you of them

the local time of sunrise and sunset 

poems and movie quotes

meaningful song lyrics

polaroids of your desk space, or the view out of your window

cutouts of sheet music you used to play

phrases in your native language with translations

magazine cutouts

pages of old books folded into a small envelope

a secret about your hometown

newspaper clippings from the day of writing

coins from your country 

maps or drawings of your city

recounts of strangers you saw

teabag of your favorite tea

colorful stamps

dark academia life is just [reads book in one sitting] [tries to memorize shakespeare quotes] [scribbles unintelligible greek words on back of hand] [quotes arthur rimbaud] [commits murder] [drinks 5 cups of coffee] ["looks like you missed your latin lessons today!" ft. a terrifying owl] [quotes oscar wilde] [wears poofy clothes] [quotes the secret history] [writes bad poetry in notes app] [yearns to be understood]
