My greatest dream in this life is to build a sanctuary for the soul.

I'm not just talking about a house... I'm talking about an enchanted mansion that could easily belong to an ancient, wise, melancholic vampire—one who walks slowly through the centuries, with ink-stained hands and earth under their nails.
A mansion that breathes magic. That sings with the wind. That embraces with silence.

That’s where I want to live.
I want to wake up to the song of crows and fall asleep to the whispers of trees.
I want every corner to be filled with symbols, charms, open books, half-made potions.
I want to learn magic the way one learns to breathe.

A glass greenhouse, wrapped in ivy and climbing vines, will be my botanical temple.
There, I’ll care for my plants with devotion, whispering sweet words into their leaves.
I’ll grow lavender, sage, mint, mandrake, and black sunflowers.
I’ll make tinctures, salves, perfumes, and draw runes with dried petals.

And when the sun goes down, I’ll wrap myself in a soft, dark cloak and sit by the fireplace,
with a steaming cup of hibiscus tea in my hands and an old book in my arms.
Maybe a forgotten grimoire, maybe a sorrowful fairy tale, maybe Dracula once more.

I want to make art like casting spells.
To paint with pigments made from flowers, to draw in candlelight, to create characters and worlds that live in the same universe as I do.
To live from art. To breathe art. To be art.

And when the air smells like rain, I’ll bake fruit pies with golden crusts and cinnamon scent, filling the whole mansion with warm sweetness.
I’ll share them with loved ones, or leave them as offerings on hidden altars.

I don’t want empty luxury. I want living beauty.
I don’t want noise. I want enchanted peace.

This is my dream:
a magical, free, artistic, botanical life—slightly vampiric, deeply mine.
And I know that one day, that mansion will be waiting for me among the trees.
