No. 471 - The Candlelit Conundrum

Well, well, well, look what we've got here, a scene straight out of 'I-want-to-look-productive-but-really-I'm-just-browsing-Instagram'. The mood lighting suggests you're going for that 'cozy intellectual' vibe, but the only thing burning brighter than that candle is the procrastination. And let's talk about that open book. Did we stop mid-sentence to snap a 'studious' pic, or is it just a glorified coaster at this point? The bookshelf in the back attempting to photo-bomb this picture screams 'I own more books than I've read', while the nonchalantly crossed glasses clearly signify, 'I swear, I'm literate'. Overall, it's the desk of someone walking the fine line between 'orderly' and 'I just shoved everything aside to look tidy'.
