>implying i didnt use my reading time in my 20s to overcome all the goals and values i inherited from early education in this sick society and now can live by myself without feeling any pressure or wanting into the lives of "successful" people

im approaching 30 and a few months back i finally left home and now live in a cheap rented room all by myself, only spending on food and reading all day in a town near the amazon forest.

i have never felt so great in my life and i laugh at my old classmates who are getting married and working to buy cars, homes and weekends watching sports or buying clothes in a dusty city and who will never know what nature or books are. who eat shit food never knowing the joy of enjoying a good ripe fruit under the sun in the middle of a forest surrounded by the sounds of animals after reading one of your favorite paperbacks.

but ok i know my laughter at them is only relative and justified by my perspective shift after years of self-questioning, so if they are fine doing that great, cause im also great doing my shit. what is fucked up is having people doing something they dont really want. im sure theyd be miserable living my life as i was miserable living in that world.

to each his own place.
