“Carpe diem” doesn’t mean to do the most you are possibly able to, doesn’t mean to work hard until you drop exhausted. It means to make every day count, to enjoy the little details and learn something new, to be happy, and sad, and free. Seize the day my love.

I was a mess until I found dark academia, now I am a knowledgeable, pretentious, eloquent, hedonistic, quite anxious, catastrophe.

“To romanticize the world is to make us aware of the magic, mystery and wonder of the world; it is to educate the senses to see the ordinary as extraordinary, the familiar as strange, the mundane as sacred, the finite as infinite.”

“There is nothing so seductive to a girl as to be loved by a poetic-depressive type. And if she is vain enough to deceive herself into thinking that she loves him faithfully by clinging to him instead of giving him up, then her task will be easy. She will enjoy both the distinction and the good conscience of being faithful, and at the same time the most finely distilled romantic love.”

— Søren Kierkegaard, Repetition

“When men say to me: “Oh, what breasts you have!!!” I don’t get lost, I say, “I wish you had balls like that!!!”
