It's always worth dusting off old memories and old emotions that we have forgotten in the bottom of the drawer of our mind, because we are humans and humans feed on emotions, whether they are positive or negative.🕰️🖋️

I hope you enjoy it!📜☕🕰️🏛️

“I can barely conceive a type of beauty in which there is no melancholy.” ― Charles Baudelaire

Today is a rainy day and with a cup of iced tea in my hands I'm thinking about childhood memories. I’m a melancholy person, so I often find myself browsing through old family albums, and seeing the faces of all the people I have loved in my life makes me feel happy. I believe that letters and photos are the best way to make a person exist forever, to always feel them close to you.☕🕯️

Dreaming of a rainy day in the late 1800s, the streets teeming with puddles as deep as the darkest ocean, the sky as gray as the smoke that comes out of the chimneys of old houses. I would wear a shirt embroidered with delicate lace, a tweed coat, and a long black skirt. I would walk in streets brimming with life, shoes wet from the rain, hands overflowing with rolls of paper and old books on the Masters of the Renaissance. I would work in an antiquities museum, handle dusty ancient works, and spend hours sitting in my mahogany desk studying and cataloging old manuscripts.🗞️🕰️

A porcelain cup with black tea, milk and cinnamon, old photographs, ink stains, gray and cloudy sky, a knitted cardigan that belonged to my grandmother and my current reading.🕯️☕

I'm spending these December days in my desk full of university books, drinking cups of coffee, tea and sometimes hot chocolate, watching the rain falling outside the window, enjoying the snowy air coming down from the white mountains and saying goodbye to autumn that always lasts too short and welcoming the winter that will bring with it the joy of Christmas.

Today was a rainy and cold day, leaves were falling on the ground and rain was pattering against the window panes.☕🕯️🗞️

I hope you enjoy it!📜☕🕰️🏛️
