I think I've finally outgrown /lit/.

The experience of the first few dates with a girl you really like is the absolute peak of human existence. The rest of what passes for life pales so markedly by comparison. The time of your life when just spending an hour with a girl means the whole world. As Burns once said, "...gie me a cannie hour at e'en , My arms about my dearie-o; An' war'ly cares, an' war'ly men, May a' gae tapsalteerie-o!"
My favorite time is the start of Spring, which always makes me recall my early college days, the first few weeks, sitting on a wall outside a girl's work and waiting for her to finish to walk her home. I was reading Murakami at the time, and I'll always like him because of that association. Norwegian Wood! The walk passed under bridges, down by the river, distant cars, the hazy sun, the intoxicating sights and smells of springtime, the hopes of better times to come. As Shakespeare once said, "In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring."
It's funny and sad how fast times passes, a few exams here and there, an election, a few hours online, a bit of Skyrim and one fake pandemic later and all of a sudden youth has up and left you. I'm sure people can find something somewhat resembling love in their later years but the real thing doesn't wait around forever. As Herrick once said, "Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying... be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime, You may forever tarry"

If she's not a 10/10 unvaxxed virgin, I'm not interested.

My favourite book. You won't like it.

i've never wrote in my life but after years of book reading i've decided to stop reading and start writing. i very much assume the first piece i write will be a masterpiece recognised immediately by the world

Where's the pocket Plato with all the dialogues?

The board is better than ever.

I feel bad for women. Physically feeble, emotionally fragile with small pliable brains that are constantly bombarbed by the most evil propaganda imaginable; they're targeted even more than men, but they're less capable of resisting it. To be born female is the ultimate L. That's why I'll never comprehend the minds of trannies.
