If your plate is empty, bring it to me, and I will fill it.
Should you be cold, I will light the fire.
When the day is hard and heavy, return to me here.
I will carry the burden for as long as we both shall breathe.
In this life I will take your part, you do not walk alone.

I think the best thing that our generation has normalised is having "online friends" . The bond created with these people is not based on their looks or their status but on the basis of their likes, their personalities, their favourite fandoms and their interests. You might have never shook hands or hugged them but still you are more comfortable telling them about your stupid mistakes and stupid jokes. The best thing about these friends is you don't have to meet them regularly to keep your friendship alive. And it's also the worst part not getting to meet them regularly or even once a week or once a month. From meeting them in the comment section of a meme to listening to their rants to updating them about our lives, online friends become our forever friends. It's a different kind of friendship but it's the cutest no pressure of any sort just two people sharing bits and pieces of their lives with each other and supporting each other.

Before the lights go out
Let's be lovers for a day,
In case we won't make it through the night!
At least we'll have a story to hold onto
For when the world ends,
We know we're not meant to grow old
So maybe let's tell each other words
We’ve never heard before,
Confess our crimes and taste the sky
Before it all comes down,
Before the earth is fire and ash,
Before the lights go out.
~ A. A. Roman

light academia.
It's like dark academia, but lighter. And like all good things, it has its roots right here on Tumblr. Like its darker counterpart, #light academia appreciates the finer things in life, indeed the scholarly things: procrastination, LGBTQIA+ literature, calligraphy, castles, lots of lists, vintage watches, Oxford shoes, the classics, debates, coffee 24/7, Greek mythology, thrifting clothes and books, studying in cafes, play the piano, museums, classic Greek and Gothic architecture... we could go on. We like making lists, after all.
Only this is an academic aesthetic with no time for the tragedy, existentialism, death, and desperation that marks its darker counterpart. This is Enid Sinclair to Wednesday Addams. The key differences are rather wonderfully defined right here as ...wearing light linen sundresses in foreign countries, eating picnics and pastries in the afternoon sun while reading poetry and laughing with your friends, the burning passion and excitement when you finally make a breakthrough in your research, falling asleep in your lover's arms sunkissed and happy… everything is beautiful and hopeful and no one dies.
For others, it may be encapsulated in a single, yet profound, question.

Dew on each and every leaf
every blade of grass
sunrise is magical
how blessed am I
everyday
just to see it

Hace ya tiempo
que no escribo como antes,
ya no me habla el café,
todo está en silencio,
los pájaros ya no riman
con las migas del pan,
el cielo se parece
tanto al mar,
el azul,
ya solo es un color,
nada me habla,
no veo donde se esconden
las hadas,
y los duendes
ya no me cuentan
lo difícil que les resulta
encontrarnos,
ya nada es como antes,
tus ojos
ya no tienen cafeína,
todo es tan normal,
que hasta la poesía
se me ha vuelto prosa.
