enemies to lovers, stolen glances, dark libraries, who did this to you, candlelight, it's always been you, echoing footsteps, ballroom dances, dagger strapped to the thigh, knowing each other better than knowing themselves, academic rivals, stargazing, i hate everyone but you, smirks, letters, yearning, forced to work together.

become so committed to your goals that no amount of failure could ever stop you.

"And you tried to change, didn't you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake... You can't make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love."

-Warsan Shire

november mood

a cold wind and the warm lights of the city in the dark evening air as you walk home after a long day

typing away at your laptop in candlelight, chocolates and their empty golden wrappers by your side

leather gloves, a cashmere scarf and a fresh blowout to complement your cosy long coat

a board game night with family or friends, music playing quietly in the background as you forget everything else to be present with your loved ones

black ink flowing on notebook pages as you plan for what is left of the year, goals and aspirations clearer to you than ever

long, misty weekend morning walks in the countryside, wearing wellies and a waxed jacket older than you

embracing the coming winter season by focusing on what is essential, spending less time on your phone and more time on consistently working on your tasks before december comes

the atmosphere of a wood-paneled neighbourhood restaurant, olives and glasses of champagne at the table, tiramisu for dessert

reading in your favourite armchair, a soft white jumper and woollen socks keeping you warm
