finally using my desk to study. i plan to research on trauma theory in literature and finish my essay on poe. [x]
Not to be dramatic but I want join a secret society that exists vaguely timelessly where everyone communicates with pretentious quotes. :/
dress up just to study, chew on the caps of your highlighters while you scribble notes in the margins of your books, put your feet up on your desk and drink cinnamon tea with too much sugar, learn calligraphy and write your favorite quotes on pages of old books and tape them to your wall, drink wine and read in the bath and use that bathbomb you keep forgetting is in your cabinet, play your favorite music play classical music play music from the 20s and dance down your hallway just because, call your friends and read aloud like each word is the most important one on the page, see if you can light enough candles to not need to use a lamp and open your window even though it’s cold, go for a walk and see if you can take a turn you haven’t taken before, live life as a challenge of how fun and dramatic a tiny world can be
tired but content about the past week, looking forward to doing some reading this weekend, hoping that warmer spring weather will come our way again soon.
