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!

The Creator's Creation: A Review of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing okay. Welcome to another thrilling literary review of a classic novel that you've probably read a million times already. But, just in case you haven't, let me introduce you to Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. You know, the one where a mad scientist creates a monster and then regrets it? Sounds exciting, right? But wait! Before you click away, did you know that Mary Shelley wrote this masterpiece at the ripe age of 19? Talk about overachieving. And let's not forget the fact that it was first published anonymously, leading people to believe her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, wrote it. And let's not forget the famous quote "I beheld the wretch—the miserable monster whom I had created" which is basically the protagonist's way of saying "oops." So, grab your coffee and get ready for a journey through the literary review of Frankenstein , where we will explore the themes, characters, symbolism, and much more that ma...

The Absurdity of Existence: A Review of Franz Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a great day (or night) so far. Before you get too deep into your daily routine, I have a question for you: Can you imagine waking up one day to find that you've been transformed into an insect? How do you think you would react? If the thought of it alone makes you uncomfortable, don't worry - you're not alone. But for the protagonist of Franz Kafka's classic novel The Metamorphosis , this nightmare becomes a reality.

Embracing the Darkness: My Love Affair with Dark Academia

Hey everyone! I'm Taskeen and welcome to my blog. You probably don't know but in my first blog post ever, I mentioned that I consider myself a strong dark academia enthusiast and if you're a fellow dark academician (idek if that's a thing but we're going to work with it), you know exactly why. Dark academia is more than just an aesthetic – it's a state of mind, a way of life. For those who are passionate about this intriguing and mysterious subculture, it's a source of endless inspiration and intellectual curiosity. But if you're like "wait what?" and don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain- Dark Academia is, ironically, one of the most popular aesthetics in today's world. At its core, dark academia is a blend of classical and romantic elements, with a focus on literature, art, and the pursuit of knowledge. It's a love letter to the history of ideas and the grandeur of academia, but with a twist of darkness and mystery...
