dark academia

“if you must die, i’ll envy even the earth that wraps your body”

“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”

“Dark Academia, in general, is an aesthetic or subculture that revolves around romanticising university and academia.”

​​Dark academia is reading at midnight with candles being your only light source. It’s always wearing dark clothes, blazers, or tweed pants. It’s having an unhealthy addiction to coffee. It’s carrying around a leather satchel full of poetry books that were written years and years ago. It’s either being the quiet observant student at the back of the classroom or the know-it-all student that starts debates out of nowhere. It’s looking at old buildings that still have touches of history to them and yearning to always live in one. It’s being obsessed with greek mythology and writing essay’s on top of essays about theories you have. It’s always wanting to be at libraries because they give you a sense of comfort you’ve never felt before. It’s appreciating old architecture and art because you know you’ll never see anything like it again. It’s overanalyzing the works of famous poets. It’s listening to classical music when you’re studying or doing tedious tasks.

“I don't know where my road is going, but I know that I walk better when I hold your hand.”
