How generous I am, I'm still forgiving my heart, even though it has betrayed and destroyed me in worst possible ways.

things to do alone

read that novel you’ve always wanted to start reading

watch a movie, and i don’t mean watch a movie on netflix, actually go to the cinema on your own. thank me later

start a blog

take a walk

browse bookstores, even if you’re not going to buy anything (if you’ll be able to resist the temptation of buying a book). just surround yourself with literature

brew yourself some tea or coffee, whichever you prefer

listen to classical music and absorb it, don’t do anything else, just sit there and listen to it

pick up a magazine, ditch online magazines for a while, go for the print

go to a museum

explore cooking or baking

watch the sunset

take a long, warm bath

Thomas Mann, from “Death in Venice”, originally published c. 1912.

today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.

Goth Academia

Reading Bram Stroker, Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley

Long leather coats

A single candle lighting up you're room

Visiting your local graveyard and reading there or commemorate the dead and your ancestors

Loving gothic architecture

Blood red lipstick to make you feel like a vampire

Listening to goth and dark wave artists but also loving classical music

Goth make up

Crosses everywhere, as a necklace or earrings etc.

Long flowy black dresses and skirts

Dried roses hanging on your wall

Writing letters to your lover(s), friends and family

Always having something mysterious about you

Being a hopeless romantic person

Winter or autumn being your favorite season

Drinking red wine (or grape juice) out of a really fancy wine glass

Dark or red nail polish
