Colours? Boys? Yes.

Red boys: Passionate™, jawline kisses and well pretty much kisses everywhere else too tbh, they have a stack of books they still haven’t read, always hot like it could be freezing outside and they’d still be warm, smells like cinnamon candies and looks like a sunset, acts out a lot but is actually a pretty chill person

Blue boys: Pool aesthetic but also rainy day aesthetic, a voice like thunder and a heart like lightning, read a book donate a book, they’re either wearing blue jeans or swim shorts there is no in between, they smell like chlorine and fresh cotton, they live on slushies and nothing else, fish > literally every other animal

Green boys: Tired eyes that sparkle in the sunshine, says “lets go exploring” at least once every day, RDF (resting disappointment face), forest aesthetic covered up with retro aesthetic, could probably disconnect from society at any moment, camping trips without sleep, a vegan but you’d never know

Yellow boys: They either eat everything or forget to eat, catch and release fishing trips, literal ray of sunshine until you cross them, always cold unless it’s over 21°C, early bird, carefree, self love posts on the daily, the softest skin out of every human being honest to god, doesn’t know how to show affection other than to a few select people

Purple boys: They always smell like lavender no matter what, always has a song stuck in their head, it’s probably an old nursery rhyme, too many pillows™, bad jokes that are somehow comforting, old sayings that no one understands, brightly coloured hair that never seems to fade, webcomics, has almost never been seen with unpainted nails

Orange boys: Pumpkin spice for days, forever autumn, can’t do their makeup but that doesn’t mean they’re not gonna do it, has a sweetly crisp scent like Halloween night, stronger than they think, runs an aesthetic side blog to distract from their shitposting blog, chants “this is Halloween” in August, has a specific spot set up for watching the sunset

a graduating senior's letter to freshman

tomorrow is my last day of high school. i guess it’s always been a tradition to give advice to freshman. when i try to think of just one solid line of advice, something that some scared 14 year old will hold onto for dear life until they are in my shoes in four years, it’s as if i’ve hopped on to a train that’s departing and i am screaming goodbye at the one’s i’m leaving behind. not once have i given someone a worthy goodbye. it always comes out in jumbled warnings and memories and wishes. but as my final day of high school lays ahead of me, i find myself on that train. i want to tell you to watch out for deadlines, and take more photos than you think you’ll need, and try new things even if you think you won’t like them. i’d tell you not to procrastinate, but in truth i just want you to learn to procrastinate well. don’t wait until the very last minute and end up turning in tear stained essays the morning following the night you spent rid with anxiety and feelings of worthlessness. turn in essays you write after you ditched studying to go driving around with your friends, essays that are filled with passion and too much conviction. always remember that what you get out of life is what you put into it. do not spend each day wishing for the next. you have to be there, so you might as well want to. i wish for you to love people with everything you’ve got, and then let them break you into a million tiny pieces, just so you know what it’s like. i wish for you to put up walls higher than the wall of china, and watch as one person single handedly breaks them down with just a few words. embrace every single thing that comes your way in the next four years, good and bad. embrace the positive and the negative, because you will learn from both. accept that the next four years are the only years when you will be surrounded by hundreds of people who are studying the same things as you, dealing with the same types of stress, are as much as they may hide it, are looking for support the same way you are. be that support for people. let other people be that support for you. and most importantly, be hungry. be hungry for growth, and success, and passion, and knowledge. remember that you are in no way required to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago. people say that high school is the time for finding yourself, but somehow i managed to lose myself more every day. cherish that, let yourself be constantly growing and constantly changing. realize that you will never find yourself and be happy with that thought, because to find yourself would mean that you had become stagnant. there are parts of your experience that are going to make you feel so numb, and you will settle with being stagnant and you will settle with feeling betrayed by your peers or your family or yourself. those times will come, but those times will also pass, and they are not worth letting the world break you. do not let the world make you hard, because you are beautiful and young and full of potential that you may or may not see right now. realize your own strengths, and do not dwell on the strengths of others. you are unique, you are important, and no matter what anyone tells you, the world needs you. 

these four years are short, so make it count. 

I’m pretty sure this was my prof. 😂

James: But I grew on you.

Lily: Yes, like moss or toe fungus.

“I love staring out the window. New York, it’s like a candy jar - watching people is so phenomenal. Looking at [the couple at the next table] right now, you can tell so much by what they order or their body language. I just find that really fun. It’s kind of like being a detective a little bit.”
