You must strive to find your own voice because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are going to find it at all.

Walking through the halls in autumn. It’s our favourite time of year.

The potions we take are coffee, wine and tea
Staying young and beautiful while dancing to Clair de Lune
A pocket watch to keep our minds ticking
Blazers in tartin, bottoms in plaid
Always a book in ones face or in ones satchel
We’re the tainted students with a dark past and future
So we may kill our darlings and speak in tongues
We may write in poetry and letters but it’s all because we belong to a different era
For we are the kids of dark academia

There are no wrong loves just as there are no one true loves. There are ones we love so passionately we cannot let them go so easily. We can love platonically or love romantically. With love always comes a kind of curse. A bewitching feeling that never truly fades. When such a love touches you it is as if a tattoo has been burnt into your skin. It may fade in colour but it will never be forgotten. For the mark that has been left is one of love.

“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
- Donna Tartt The Secret History

I dreamt of you last night. I don’t always but when I do it’s the most vivid of my visions. I dream in colour only for you. When I wake I have thoughts such as ‘I hope you have forgiven me.’ I like to believe you would have by now. I wonder if you think of me as much as I do you? I wonder if you ever thought as highly of I as I still do you. Perhaps in another realm we would’ve met in different circumstances. Perhaps we could’ve had a life together. In that lost dream I shall simply leave you with this. Thank you for being in my life and blessing me with your kindness.
