Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive.
— Haruki Murakami
actually, growing up is feeling like i turned sixteen two days ago. i’ve been eighteen for years. fifteen year olds seem so young. wasn’t i fifteen just a few weeks ago? all my friends and i are still twelve. i’m closer to thirty than to being a baby. i never got to be a kid. i never grew past eight. i can’t talk to my mom. i want to sit in her lap forever. i want to decide everything for myself. i need someone to tell me exactly what to do. the week is going by so slow. an entire year has passed.

You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

dark academia study techniques
rewriting your notes, over and over and over again, not worrying about the neatness but paying close attention to each and every word
muttering every bit you know by heart under your breath as you walk down the streets
studying early in the morning, focusing on one sentence or chapter and pondering it through the day
researching things that you have questions about on your own, finding books on that subject and leafing through them
reciting your notes dramatically to your household companion or your stuffed animal
challenging yourself to think, speak, write and consume media only in your target language
eating certain snacks with different subjects and letting the smells trigger your memories
associating each subject to someone you know by sight only
romanticising bits that you have difficulty getting interested in
chanting your notes at night on a classical tune
