you do realize you can do anything without having to fit into one aesthetic or style? you can be all of them !! Listen to mother mother while gathering your notes for that Shakespeare play. Read a cheesy YA contemporary in the morning and switch to Jane Eyre in the night. Wear red high heels and red lipstick and throw on a leather jacket. Make your hair into a 19th century-like braid and then dye the front bangs a bright blue color. Pierce your nose and then watch Dead Poet's Society. Recite poetry with your friends and then watch Star Wars at their house. Wear a plaid skirt and dock martens while listening to Shawn Mendes. Take buzzfeed quizzes while Motzart plays in the background. Take online school outside in your porch and drink tea in a vintage mug while wearing a Victorian gown.

You can do anything and look any way you want while doing it.

do u ever just get the overwhelming feeling that you’re wasting ur young years and that u should go on a road trip and study law and graduate and appear in a movie and volunteer for charity and travel the world and meet your soulmate and defeat an evil overlord and get magical abilities and write a book and dance in the rain because i do

just a little reminder that the reason women’s pockets are non-existent is because during the Salem Witch Trials men noticed that the women they believed to be witches carried crystals and stuff inside their pockets so they decided to remove pockets entirely from our pants which just shows how terrified they are of women
