#but you can’t romanticize an entire region - especially if you’ve never been

[darbycicci]

ppl into the dark academic aesthetic be like “oh how i wish i lived in new england so i could be my aesthetic all the time” as if the whole region resembles harvard square and not just a place full of white guys wearing basketball shorts, patriots hoodies, and red sox hats drinking gigantic dunkin iced coffees with way too much sugar.

#full disclosure #i love new england - literally why i moved back #and a lot of it has to do w/ my own personal aesthetic preferences: #old cemeteries. mountains. old buildings and cities. historical buildings and monuments #etc etc #but you can’t romanticize an entire region - especially if you’ve never been #because you’re setting yourself up for disappointment #new england is beautiful yes but it’s also just as drab as your own backyard
