“It was a smile he thought he might die to earn again.”

Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

I've spent 16 years of my life trying to cope up with my fear of losing people. But now I realize that it's inevitable and that someday I'll wake up and find out that a certain someone isn't in my life anymore and that's it. And I don't want to spend my time hating myself or you so I'll say it now that I LOVE YOU for being there and I'll cherish the memories for as long as I live.♡

Ars longa, Vita brevis

-Art is long, Life is short.

the law students

wandering the endless shelves of the library, looking for the volume you need

the smell of dust and old paper

heavy law books piled in your arms

putting on mock trials and debates with your friends

crafting your arguments, knowing the importance of word choice and syntax

a travel mug with your favorite coffee blend

memorizing sections and subsections of important laws

scribbled reminders on post-it notes stuck to your desk

dozens of papers spread across your desk with notes scribbled in the margins

examining the rules we create for ourselves

quizzing your study group on key precedents

understanding that what is law is not always what is right

crumpled dress shirts lying on your floor

a strong sense of justice

reviewing trial footage, taking notes of the techniques used by the prosecution and defense

your favorite pen tucked into the inner pocket of your suit jacket

the anticipatory quiet of an empty courtroom

studying rhetoric

puzzling through documents until you understand the details of a case

feeling at home surrounded by convoluted legal texts

pacing across your floor, practicing your opening statement under your breath

watching legal dramas in your time off, poking fun at the inaccuracies

a deep respect for the legal system

the thrill of an argument, feeling the adrenaline rise in your veins
