Dark Academia and My Passion for the Written Word

Hey everyone! I'm Taskeen and as a lover of literature, books, reading, writing, and whatnot, I have always been drawn to the melancholic and nostalgically intellectual themes of the dark academia aesthetic. There is something about this aesthetic that speaks to me on a deep level, and that has always resonated with my own interests and passions. At its core, dark academia is an aesthetic that celebrates the beauty and power of the human intellect and is characterized by a love of literature, art, and music, as well as a fascination with the mysteries of the past. For me, this aesthetic represents a way of life that is deeply appealing, and one that I have always felt a strong connection to. 

I have always had a love of reading, and the aesthetic perfectly captures this love. It is an aesthetic that values the knowledge and wisdom found within the pages of classic literature and encourages a love of learning and intellectual pursuits. But it's not just about reading for me. I am also a writer, and I have always been drawn to the power of the written word. Whether I'm composing a poem or working on a creative writing project, I find great joy in the act of writing. And, you guessed it, the aesthetic perfectly captures this love of writing as well. It is an aesthetic that values the creative power of the human mind and encourages a love of self-expression and artistic pursuits.

In conclusion, my interest in literature, books, reading, and writing poetry is deeply intertwined with my love of the dark academia aesthetic. It is an aesthetic that I will always feel a strong connection to. Whether I'm lost in the pages of a good book or composing a poem of my own, this aesthetic is an integral part of my life and my passions which is why I figured why not start a blog? It would be a great way to share my thoughts and also connect with other like-minded individuals but most importantly it would be a placeholder for all my thoughts, words, poems, and everything that I've struggled to say till now. This is my first blog post ever and I wanted to introduce myself to whoever reads this (if any at all lol). That said, I sincerely apologize for any mistakes I have made or will make in future posts. Also, if you like my work, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments, and please share it with people you think would enjoy it too. Thank you so much for reading and I will see you all very soon!

View from the Villain

I ask myself how do people love? The idea of loving someone with their flaws is so foreign to me. I can love a person, but I'd always hate their negative qualities and I know it's true for everyone And if it's not, there's something wrong with me, or something extremely right with them  Does their heart pump love while mine only pumps hate? Is their work hard while mine is just fate? Is their blood hot while mine has run cold? If we have the same hearts, why is mine impossible to hold? Does their hand crave another while mine only craves a pen? Is it wrong to yearn for solitude again and again? How does their love feel like a breeze on a hot day? While mine feels like a debt I can never repay. How do their eyes resemble stars while mine lackluster? How do they give love for love while I just feed them off like a vulture? Does their mind replay memories they love, while mine is just a misery cell? Does their recollection fade when they feel fine, while I remember it all
