It was kinda hard. Have you spoken it? Some of the words just dont feel like they play well together. I'm terrible at giving critique on poetry, but for me it's shortcomings were in the realm of delivery/packaging rather than the contents. Better than anytime I've tried my hand at poetry. This is just the opinion of a puh-sued who is uninitiated in the art of poetry, so take it for what its worth.

Keep it up, fren.

>Try to start writing a short story
>Realize I started 4 of the 5 sentences I have written with the word I
>Erase it all and stop writing
Is this the curse of first person present tense?
Am I allowed to use past tense or do I have to use present tense?

well I'm not sure whether you mean this as a transphobe or not, but as a non-transphobe I agree with what you say to an extant, it is a strange world indeed, but often in these cases i've known people to end up at least seeming happier than they once where.

Why cant' /lit/ accept the insane chasm of intellectual strength that separates post- and pre-Internet humans? Virtually everything written before the invention of World Wide Web is written by brainlets who didn't have all of the world's knowledge at their fingertips. It's hilarious to imagine how underdeveloped, underread, and unerudite these people were compared to the average Modern Man. Plato probably read less in his lifetime than average /lit/ poster reads in a year. Not just literature, discussions, articles, exposure to the billions of varied opinions and perspectives, ancients (which is to say anyone born before 1980s) do not even begin to compete. And yet, /lit/ persists in this delusion that the grass was greener centuries ago, it's laughable.

based and unironically good critique of the current frugal zeitgeist that seeks to tidy up and live smaller because their means have been hoovered up by corporations with government's consent.

bring back the epic. make striving for greatness noble again.
