Classic Lit Hits Different Than Modern Lit Not Because Modern Lit Lacks Depth But Because There’s Something

USE HEADPHONES 🌧️

The thing about Jinho is you know how good his voice is, but it still blows you away everytime you hear him sing.

Im okay. I’m okay. Just that on the page 520 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows my soul died with him and I don’t know what to do but deny his death.

When Byron said, The great object of life is sensation- to feel that we exist, even though in pain and when Shelley said, Our sweetest songs are those of saddest thought and when Keats said, Touch has a memory

A heart’s a heavy burden to bear

Fuck this. I’m gonna just frequent a cafe and sit by the window with a classic, whose title wouldn’t appear on the cover page, and sip my coffee looking outside until I bewitch someone body and soul by my mysterious aura.

types of people: cities x study szn

london: brown leather book bags, windy walks to the library, writing with fountain pens, notes that are infused with the scent of cinnamon, history, architecture, afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows

paris: studying to the sounds of birds singing, taking well-deserved breaks by walking in the park, hair tied back with a pink ribbon, putting on a pair of round glasses, art, french literature, small neat writing

new york: writing notes in a high-rise apartment that smells of vanilla, almost illegible cursive handwriting, using little potted plants as paperweights, film analysis, mathematics, scribbles in the margins of textbooks

rome: revising classwork by fountains with gorgeous sculptures, reading small yellow-paged books, riding a hand-me-down bicycle to classes, ancient languages, physics, smelling of wild violets as you rush into the lecture hall

sydney: humming to yourself as you take notes, studying by a big window with a breathtaking view, or beside a fish tank where you can hear the water bubbling, cream soda, mechanical pencils, pleated skirts

I want soft things. Soft things that are the same time dark. Like victorian dark, not morbid dark. I want to recieve mail. I want to wear soft socks. I want to live and work in a library all day. I want to know a library like the back of my hand. I want to be left alone but I also want to be noticed. I want to cram books in a bookshelf that cannot take more. Then because the bookshelf is full, I want to line books by the bed. Then the study table. Then the window. I want to walk in the mornings across mossy dewy cemeteries. I want my bag to be heavy with books. And a diary with messy writing. I want to press leaves between pages and find them years later. I want to wear flannel. And soft sweaters. I want to visit art galleries, museums. Antique stores. I want to fill my apartment with wooden furniture. I want plants. I want tea in the evening in my balcony as the sun sets and the city turns pink. I want to stand in the sun, taking in the morning light.
