Okay fruity yearners, this one's for you <3

Yall know Mr. Darcy's hand flex.

Yeah the reason is because when you hold someone's hand that you like (or there's a serious temp diff but I like the other idea) you feel the ghost of their hand on yours. And when you move your hand, you can still feel it

How to wake up your aristocratic nature

1. Educate yourself.

Being educated, amongst many other things, was the prime dimension that differentiated nobility from illiterate gray mass. Make conscious reading your hobby, attend (real or pre-recorded) lectures on literature, mathematics, biology, or everything you are interested in. 

2. Have a strong opinion. 

“Stepan Arkadyevitch took in and read a liberal paper, not an extreme one, but one advocating the views held by the majority. And in spite of the fact that science, art, and politics had no special interest for him, he firmly held those views on all these subjects which were held by the majority and by his paper, and he only changed them when the majority changed them—or, more strictly speaking, he did not change them, but they imperceptibly changed of themselves within him. Stepan Arkadyevitch had not chosen his political opinions or his views; these political opinions and views had come to him of themselves, just as he did not choose the shapes of his hat and coat, but simply took those that were being worn.” ... a worn coat should not find itself on your shoulders, but be hanged where is it - on a broken rack by the door into mediocrity.

Question your beliefs - do you indeed understand what you are fighting for or just deceived by the shimmer and gold of what is fashioned or even “right”? Conduct your own research, read the postulates of ideologies and analyse everything you see.

3. Where are your manners?

Learn good manners before seeking knowledge. No, not the etiquette of XIX century, but basic concepts of demeanor and body language such as posture, gait, and respect, not only to your interlocutor, but to yourself.

4. Develop your own taste.

Duplicating your Instagram or Pinterest feed is easy, though remember, it makes you cliché... a victim of mainstream, a part of shallow mass of blind followers. Embrace your uniqueness, your distinctiveness - have your own legendary garment, your own scent, something that would be associated only with your name.

P.S. after all, a true aristocrat is not one who has a regal house or fancy clothes, but one who has a royal heart and a rich soul...
