I think Im going to give up on writing as a career and not go to uni.

I think Im going to keep writing just as a hobby. Im not good at academic study of English and it doesnt seem to be about writing what so ever. Im going to pursue another easier career that is a lot more stable, still enjoyable and more realistic.

Is this a smart move? I wondered what you guys would think.

This is me but with marijuana. I haven't smoked any in a couple days now and all I've done is lie in bed and stare at the ceiling for hours on end. Chemical addiction is a bitch.

What an appropriately Tolkien-esque sentiment, anon. There's a passage that comes to mind, something about a stone door rolling shut forever, I thought it was in the barrow wight chapter but I couldn't find it there.

>i kind of feel bad for weird looking chicks
considering how much their social worth is inextricably tied to their looks i do feel sympathy for them. being an ugly woman must be harder than being an ugly man in a lot of ways.
