Dark Physics Aesthetics

-Staying up all night working through a problem, surrounded by pages and pages of failed attempts but unable to sleep until you’ve figured it out

-The delicious hunger of constantly feeling like everything you’re studying is at the very edge of your comprehension, slippery photons slowly taking shape in your imagination as the mathematics coalesces into a tangible concept

-Reading a section of the textbook saying, “this is all we know about this topic so far”, and the flash of fire, the need to know, the need to discover burning under your skin

-Forcing your way through derivations in a desperate attempt to understand the elegance in the equation that is printed on the page

-Forgetting the world while working on a particularly fascinating problem only to resurface hours later, suddenly aware of your empty stomach and dry eyes, wondering vaguely when the sun went down

-Half empty lecture halls populated by the same group of students who never miss class, whose eyes all have the same parched look, drinking in every mark the professor writes, starving ears devouring every word that echoes in the silent room

-The grim determination of coming back to the same problem every day for a week, letting it consume every passing thought until it even invades your dreams and not even sleep is restful

living the dark academia life

messy handwriting and even messier notebooks, doodles of skulls with sunflowers dangling from their eyes

burning the corners of pages, an older look given to them, the smell of ancient given to your room

wearing the cheapest, largest brown sweaters and the most comfortable, softest cream skirts

classical music softly bouncing on each one of the walls in your room, a list of your favorite composers pinned to your wall

a black ring on your finger, your hands wrapped around a warm cup of tea

your eyes closing softly from spending too much time reading, a candle to keep you company

the wet tip of your finger, the turning of yet another page

soft brown on your eyelids, gloss on your lips

long studying session in the library, you’re curled up on your chair, seven academic books are sitting next to your side, three articles are waiting to be read

stains around the edges of your nails, your skin painted with ink

a book in your bag, a pen used as a bookmark to annotate everything that makes your hands shake

a leather belt around your waist, your old grandpa’s sweatshirt tucked in has not gone to waste

standing right in the centre of a museum, sketching the outline of a sculture, scribbling down everything there is to know about a painting – in this, your hands are still stained

letting the rain softly caress your hair, carrying an umbrella to match your velvet trousers

a smile on your face when writing an essay, a yawn from your mouth when you finally go to sleep – after your eyelids are closed, psychedelic, dark and soft dreams are reaching your mind
