I love light academia because it's such a twist on reality. It's like living like everyone else lives but in a more exciting way. You care about details, you perform mundane tasks with such passion, you read books like there's no Tomorrow. It's almost as if there's this imaginary parallel universe that you're transported to once you're into the light academia Aesthetics.

“Homo sum: humani nihil a me alienum puto.
I am human; I consider nothing human to be alien to me.”
