I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

"beauty is...?" zine

hey guys!! i don't really post here but i made this zine for a seminar class at school and i thought it'd be fun to post it here as a sort of commemoration. it's meant to be a physically-bound zine, so the first page is both the front cover (right half) and the back cover (left half).

fuck the beauty industry!!

btw, please don't repost these images without crediting me, @studyinglate :) xoxo

“Do you fall in love often?' Yes often. With a view, with a book , with a dog , a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.”

a summer studying aesthetic

flowers tucked in your hair

the warmth of the sun against your skin

staying up late to stargaze, learning the summer constellations by heart

carrying your book bag everywhere you go

a loose shirt with the sleeves rolled up

moving slowly, taking time to appreciate the beauty around you

celebrating the vibrancy of life

fresh fruit staining your lips

reading outside in the shade of a tree

finding time to research new topics that interest you, outside of any specific class

a glass of iced tea, cold and refreshing in the heat

relaxing in a comfortable chair

steadily working through your summer reading list

weekly trips to the library

taking a break from your work to watch the sunset

[muresetivoire]

I loved you, I did;

But I'm yet to see if it was my mistake and sin

a paesant evening to:

bastard poets,writers who don't write anything for months, wannabe pianists, french smokers, revolutioners without a revolution, black coffee drinkers, females, romantic old couples,hannibal shippers, my english teacher, people who believe in fairies, summer haters, people who think tweed coats are a personality, bread lovers, ginger girls, pomegranates eaters, whoever read the idiot for fun, unpublished gods, gambits players, melancholic ballerinas and the lucky ones

Shout out to all the notes-app poems, love letters, secrets, novels, diary entries, bucket lists and lyrics that were hurredly typed into people’s phones at 3am and then hidden from the world and forgotten. Maybe one day you’ll open the app and laugh at how pretentious you were, or maybe you’ll smile at that part of yourself that noone else saw
