Introduction ♡

About me:

I'm Jasper, and I'm 16 years old in an American high school. I decided to create this blog to give myself a boost of motivation, by means of inspiration, and a way of holding myself accountable.

Basically, I'm supposed to be a Junior. But since I was homeschooled for two years and didn't want to pay 1,000$ for my credit by exams; upon my return to a charter school I was forced to make up those two years of credits. Ergo, I'm retaking freshman and sophomore year. This doesn't mean I'll be in school for two more years, nono,- I'm attending a charter school, which is completely self paced. In around six weeks I've made up an entire semester of one year.

I want to hurry up and get out of high school, and I plan to be in at least the top 5% of my graduating class. I've always had a yearning for knowledge and a passion for studying, so this has been a fun game of catch-up.

But I haven't been going as fast as I would like; with friends, a boyfriend, student council and an internship, I've been going at the normal pace,- which will not cut it if I want to graduate at the time I'm "supposed" to, or possibly earlier.

So in conclusion, I want to take you all along with me while I get into the zone, and take you with me through my highschool years, and possibly college and graduate school...

Most of my life, I’ve romanticized death. I used to love the idea of something being so tremendous that it was worth dying for. But I was wrong. I think the most magnificent things are worth living for.

to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

Still lives in sepia tones — where scent, structure, and slow thinking trace the contours of a modern mind.

Recently, it has been hard to learn, because I no longer feel the yearning and desire for it that I once did. I want it back. Recently, life has been hard to love. I want my wanderlust back.

"we who study humanities are lucky because to us nothing loses meaning, of course we won't be reading a book from the 1400s the same way they did back then, but with time it acquired more and more meanings and we can still find things to reflect on today"

and with this random reflection this professor won me over

Warm mugs and handwritten margins, croissants beside chess boards, and stories read under fading light. A soft kind of ambition — where intellect meets comfort, and every detail feels like home.
