“I need solitude. I need space. I need air. I need the empty fields round me; and my legs pounding along roads; and sleep; and animal existence.”
— Virginia Woolf, The Diary of Virginia Woolf (via mercurieux)

read the secret history
moon gaze
look up true crime articles on wikipedia at 3:00am and try to solve them
wear black blazers
write literature essays for fun
get lost in a random city
ask your family about your ancestors
coffee coffee coffee
write latin words on your arms
run through stormy rain
research an artist’s history
layer turtlenecks and jumpers in the winter
write a fancy 1800s themed love letter to yourself
sketch strangers in cafes
