What is dark academia, if not studying late into the night on dangerous amounts of caffeine
Poets have their desks and pockets filled with poems, artists with sketches, and mine are filled with equations, calculus and books.
After all, we, scientists and you, romantics, aren't so different.
Oh to be the Broken Ace.
To be so good at everything that you’re never good enough.
To walk around with a regal air that nobody questions because your reputation always precedes you.
People avoid you because they don’t trust themselves to act around you.
Even more, they don’t trust your response.
The people around you harbour the worst kind of doubt, the deepest kind of fear, the most damaging kind of insecurity.
And that’s the thing.
You are good.
Annoyingly so.
Your all-consuming demons have made sure of it.
