And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

I've mainly been reading non-fiction stuff. Academic shit, esoterics, history, stuff like that. For those if you who read a lot of narrative lit, I am wondering if books can make you feel genuine emotion. I am not talking about feelings that 'something may be off', I'm talking about illiciting physical responses like crying, laughing, or anger.

Just hit 40000 words in my book. I feel I'm about a third of the way in. Feels good man

Wrote 5000 words in my book today and there's still a few hours till I sleep

My online memories are so powerful, it almost makes me cry when I look back at all these years, the ideologies that I supported, the enthusiasm with which I found new ideas, the people from 4chan, discord, telegram, etc. that I interacted with, the times when we used to talk on discord vc, all of the shitpost that we made, staying up all night, listening to music in vc while drunk, everytime I went somewhere with my family I used to send them images and felt like they were real friends next to me. I remember when I was at my grandmother's house from the countryside and we were arguing on telegram over how our byzantine revivalist knightly esoteric order should look like while some other guys were shitposting with black sun edits of bonbibonkers in the background. All of this and I am left with nothing, all of these people don't talk with eachother anymore, they seem to have grown up, I recently texted one of these guys of which I had the phone number and he told me that he is going to become a christian monk. Do you think that I should also try to fix my real life and grow out of this? My mind thinks so but my heart keeps coming back to these good old days wasted online. I know that you may probably laugh of me because I am a zoomer and so forth but my emotions are nevertheless real.

I understand.
