In films, we are voyeurs, but in novels, we have the experience of being someone else: knowing another person's soul from the inside. No other art form does that. And this is why sometimes, when we put down a book, we find ourselves slightly altered as human beings.

“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”

i love my erratic and enigmatic henry winter
I want to be so disgustingly over educated that the second anyone has a question they automatically know I have the answer to it
Henry Winter is so husband coded (I need to be institutionalized)

born to be a henry winter forced to be a richard papen
each day i must leave the sweet, warm, tender embrace of my bed and venture into a cold, uncaring world that hates me being toasty warm and wants me to suffer for sins i have not yet committed
reading books in Latin, coffee stained papers, piles of books on the desk, spilled ink, wine bottles with a candle stick in it, cherry red lips, a very chaotic mind of new stanzas and creative work. Grecian artwork and statues that crumbled over time. revlon lipsticks and dior blush.
Hits hard darlings

Entering my Henry Winter era (I have constant migraines and I want to commit crimes)
nothing, null, hollow, hole

GOOD GOD, THAT'S SO ACCURATE
If the Secret History was set nowadays, Bunny would annoy everyone with his duolingo lessons, Henry would physically get sick at the mention of any e-reader, Camilla would be a Lana del rey girly, Richard would listen to "this is me trying" while having insomnia, Charles would be a filmbro and judge anyone who hasn't seen Interstellar and Francis would have a crush on hot priest from Fleabag

It's all about the smallest things. The smell of coffee and the warm feeling, when the sunshine touches your skin while it's freezing. Simple.
Happy End of Finals Week and the Semester to those celebrating!
my holy trinity: me, my playlist, and my coffee
the sun literally sets and casts a golden hue over everything every single day and we fucked it all up and invented paying rent

Cupid & Psyche by Jacob Matham (1607)
I want to be someone's muse, the object of someone's desires. I want to be something somebody thinks about all day. I want to be painted on a canvas by a painter, to be written in words by a poet. I want to be the inspiration for somebody's art.
when they say "all you need is love " but all you need is henry winter
I’m at the “we’ll see” stage in my life. With everything and everyone. We will see.
· And I didn't have nothing more to say. It was horribly silent in my empty mind. And then one single scream.
The first and the last one ·
why did we as a society stop putting gargoyles on everything. what fucking loser looked at a building and was like no actually this doesn’t need a horrid little creacher
