• dusty stacks of mythology books
  • constellation maps on the wall
  • battered notebooks, filled with scribbled poetry
  • late nights, with a cup of coffee
  • a hidden room full of potions
  • fading maps and rusty compasses
  • old letters, paper fraying at the edges
  • broken gold bracelets
  • a locket with a faded, monochrome photo inside
  • a glinting pair of spectacles
  • the urge to run away
  • leather backpacks with gold embellishments
  • notes written in the margins of old paperbacks
  • the smell of an ancient library
  • bronze crystal necklaces
  • the clacking of an old-fashioned typewriter
  • books with tattered leather covers
  • mysterious symbols carved into architecture
  • graphite smudged on your hands
  • imagining a whole other world
  • a quill rapidly scribbling on parchment
  • the slow ticking of an old grandfather clock
  • sextants and astrolabes scattered on a desk
  • a messy cartography table
  • yellowed scrolls, tied messily with ribbon
  • a candle slowly burning down
  • ivy league universities
  • vintage suspenders, clasped with gold
  • discovering ancient city ruins
  • wishing someone would tell you the answers
  • long drives to an art museum in the city
  • toffee plaid cardigans
  • running through the dark academy hallways with them
