I remember a girl was bullying me so I hit her

The next day some boys bullied me for hitting a girl

An older girl saw what was going on and yelled at them until they left. Then she put her arm around my shoulder and asked if I was alright

tfw I loved the people who rescued me from bullies more than anyone, in those moments I was euphoric

Euracyklon;
or what one becomes under the wind.

by Zass, the unpotent one


I do not follow my own advice. In fact, I, most of the times, never act upon what I think I should. Either it is cowardice, feeblemindeness or mere indication that I am of weak willed stock. Read that as excuses for fancy words and empty talk.
Awaken then, says I. Five minutes more, all for the better, the sweetness of this bed wrought with grandest of self mutilation coupled with naivete of a young man. Young man, aye, that's me. You one too, if not, you were. If you not a man, seek the worst end of the grand rope, for no other way there is that you might understand this.
Wake later and there won't be cheap coffee. Do you not drink? Clothes another level of dirty, it seems. Where that car? Oh, mother, I am leaving. Again.
Taken on a short ride to the grand palace, I rode with my friend. A friend, they call all those that you might know a little bit, but more than often don't actually see them as such. Sentry point and I am in. Pass of mine holds an ugly picture of mine.
Spare the smell, spare the eyes, spare the soul. Spare not my hands. All dirty, as enclosed by green armor through my own agency. Ah, the preparation is but the sweetest part of it all. No dirtiness still covers me. It is hard to be me. I bear the greatest of all burdens. I am John the Baptist. I am apostle of this coffin.
As enter, there but dark cobblestone and all for the better, none of the wetness. Through wand of mine, light arise. 'Fiat', says I.

How do I deal with soul crushing implications of wageslavery?

Any /lit/erature on the subject?

Take note that I live in a poor Eastern European shithole and that wageslavery is much worse here than in any Western European country.

I'm on a break which will end in about 30 minutes. After that, I have to work for four hours. Gladly, the only person around me is my close friend, so I'm not going to do much working; 'working' is what I'll do. Then, I'll go for a swim once I'm done with all this and read something or shitpost on 4chan. Sleep comes soon after that.

Repeat.

What am I doing with my life?

ad nauseum

I just scrolled upwards and found out it is about getting friends who have some interest in literature, then it turned into people claiming they didn't score any after reading those recommended books. It's hard to tell whether they are shitposts, but I don't care too much either.

I would say that most people in general do not have literature as a hobby. How many people do you meet who are practically always reading something? Few, I would say. So far I've met this old guy who is the grandfather of my cousins, not a relative of mine, at least not a close one, and he reads a lot. He also happens to be a protestant Christian and works about 12 hours a day doing agricultural work and reminds me of Tolstoy. He once recommended me the Bible and Quaran as a top priority reading material and mentioned something about Atlantis being an actual thing. Other than the later oddity, he is fairly intelligent and mannered most of the times, but somewhat 'vulgar' in that he is a very honest and a simple man.

I thought that only happened to me.

I know this feel all too well. Most of the distractions of mine include 4chan, listening to various pieces of chamber music, even after I'm pretty much being numb to it and so forth. In back of my head, I'd tell myself I'd read this novel, look up that information that was mentioned in X book, in other words, I was telling myself I'd do all the things that I truly wanted to, but for some reason weren't doing. I balanced that out by attributing a certain ammount of time to the activities that matter to me, spending less and less time at 4chan. Let's say that I spend four hours at my computer or doing fuck at all. Instead of wasting all of my four hours, I'd waste only three and a half. Then three. Then even less. Up to the point where I can't even be bothered to make myself to do what I want. Well, waste a couple of dollars, you will earn them back. Waste a couple of hours, you won't ever get them back.

Here is something that I aspire to and I think that you would really like as well.

Credo by Jack London.

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

I'd also read this fairly interesting novel, Martin Eden. It's by Jack London as well.

I wish I could have written this better than I did, but I really feel tired anon. I just wanna let you know I know your feels and your concerns as they all sound all to familiar to me. You are not the only one.

Hello. Have you any experience with memory enchancing techniques? Do you practice any? Perhaps you can give me some literature recommendations relating to this?

As for myself, I have always had above average memory, especially when applied to remembering as to what I had read, but I'd like to improve this faculty, if it is at all possible.

Although this is not strictly /lit/ related, I believe that this could be of interest to people visiting this board.

Picture unrelated.

I loved the shit out of that book. There were so many different stories all woven together. I wish I was smarter so I could articulate what I liked about books. I can't say exactly why but that book is one of the best I've read. My favourite book was the part about archimboldi although I also liked fate and crimes.
