I've Started Hitting The Gym Again

If you feel like you’ve seen this alread, that’s normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it. 

Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books. 

Thank you for your suggestions!

they came for my life with this ending sequence

Sometimes I forget how much my brother and I are Sirius and Regulus variants until a family crisis happens and I'm making jokes and getting tattoos while he's sitting there rolling his eyes and doing shots.

and yet the world is silent…

Et lorsque tu me souris,

le monde entier cesse de tourner.

J’en oublie la parole, 

j’en oublie de respirer,

je ne sais plus qui je suis.

Je ne peux que te contempler.  

And when you smile at me,

the entire world ceases to revolve. 

I forget how to speak,

I forget how to breathe,

I don’t know who I am anymore.

I cannot do anything but gaze at you.

I have no desire to fit in. No plans to walk with the crowd. I have my own mind, heart and soul. I am me and it has taken me years to realize how important that is.
