Aesthetic

One thing that has developed throughout my teenage years is the desire for aestheticism. Beauty. Romance.

I want to live life romantically.

However, this is different to the Aesthetic Movement, because they only care about appearing romantic and disregard the "truth", like when Wilde was in Oxford, he told everybody he didn't study, when realistically he studied secretly in the early hours.

This is not what I want. I want the reality to be romantic, so sometimes I might do certain things or not do certain things because it is romantic (in my eyes). Even to the point where I'm not sure if I enjoy doing the thing itself or enjoy the aestheticism it carries. Either way, I enjoy it, so I guess that's what matters.

I've always been one of those kids who need their parents' permission for everything. Everything. And I know, it's a stage where everyone has gone through, but a stage where most uni students have gone out of already. Here are a few possible r...
