#gray academia
Seeing couples who are deeply in love with each other is a different kind of beauty
The phrase ‘all things that fall get broken’ truly terrifies me because I’m falling hard but unfortunately fictional characters can’t catch you
Kissing your lover in the rain > everything else
Tumblr is the place for romantics who are scared of love
If your dark academia friend goes missing here is how to find them!
1. Make a small shrine of books, perhaps Shakespeare or the Picture of Dorian Gray, leave some tea or coffee, maybe a few jumpers if it’s cold and of course leave a copy of Dead Poets Society
2. Leave it near your local library/forrest/curiosity shop/aesthetic cafe /old building or anywhere that seems fitting to yearn
3. Wait until nightfall as they are most likely an insomniac and will most likely becone productive anywhere between 11 pm and 3 am
Hopefully your friend will emerge from their hideaway and you can safely take them home
Dark academia is the aesthetic for people who:
Had a tense emo phase that matured into dark academia
Had an unhealthy Harry Potter obsession and now hates J. K. Rowling
Played games revolving around mythical creature as a child
Was able to read at an adult level at age 8 and spent their childhood reading
Anyone who is a part of any of the academia aesthetics will agree that it is just dressing like it is autumn all year round no matter the weather
“I wondered how many of them had wives waiting for them, mothers and daughters perhaps. What would those women think if they could see their menfolk, as they stood guard over us, the weeping, grieving survivors of Troy?”

Lessons from a flower
A flower fulfills its purpose by simply existing, it sprouts to life, blossoms and withers when its time has come-so should you follow in his suit. You are born into this world and you grow, you exist until you can no longer do so. You exist and that’s more than enough… That is the only lesson that a flower should teach you.
