In the past years we've seen the rise of many academia trends on social media. And no, I don't mean "macadamia", I mean academia. The first and biggest trend was dark academia, and then it was followed by light academia, and now there's also romantic academia and chaotic academia. These academia trends really peaked during COVID because people couldn't go to school, but now they've taken a life of their own. The idea here is really a craving for learning beyond the dry and rigid systems of education that we currently have. It's not about the grades or taking courses but it's about nourishment and self-cultivation. That's why a home library is particularly important for these movements, because the books are not just things, they are a journey to find one's home and belonging. It's a bit like the Odyssey, but instead of wild seas you journey through the world of books to find your self and to find your home. www.reginalucis.com
