aesthetic for @cassiopeia721
old maps pinned to your walls
flipping through a history book, piecing the past together bit by bit
ivy covered walls
books on world affairs and political science piling up on your desk
crumbling stone illuminated by flickering candlelight
using history to inform your opinions on current events
the rich green of early summer
taking time to yourself to gather your thoughts
a notebook and pen in your bag at all times
rushed handwriting, legible only to you
the moment of clarity when inspiration strikes
reading the news while a cup of tea steeps nearby
practicing martial arts, paying attention to the movement of your body
dark colors, an air of mystery
reading under your favorite tree
a love of people, of the vibrant lives lived by everyone around you
learning about niche historical figures
growing plants on your windowsill
a desire to understand the world you live in
saving photos of the places you want to travel someday
studying the past to learn the origins of the present
“fuck you, my child is completely fine” your child wants to mysteriously disappear and start a new life in a victorian castle in the middle of nowhere.
cool rocks :)
me, reading & learning about ancient romans & greeks on paper: :)
me, remembering they were real, conscious people with opinions, memories & fears: :|
Not yet corpses.
Still, we rot.
