What he said OP, nobody is saying its going to be easy and hell I can guarantee you’ll suffer and you wont be making money unless you like writing shit on purpose but the reason we all became writers and love literature is because in a very fake and superficial society its whats feels real to us and we’re willing to stick with it through thick and thin because the alternative is being a fucking drone and miserable your entire life because of safety and repetitiveness. Dont look down on you if you want to go that route and made a conscious choice be we cant even if we wanted to and the saddest people Ive seen are people who are clearly too smart or just dont belong in some run of the mill job only doing it because they never thought for themselves once in their life. Do it anon its more interesting this way anyway

Unironically Tao Te Ching and right now reading Zhuangzi and its just as based imo it basically gave me the mentality in OPs image in a competent coherent manner

I am afraid of death, but I am also afraid of living forever. There are times when the realization that I'm just another human being and that my death is inevitable hits me so hard that I start shivering and get panic attacks. It feels like going up on the biggest rollercoaster and regretting with all your being the 5 tabs of acid you ate 40 minutes ago but now you're in for the ride and you can scream, cry, laugh, whatever, the drop will come eventually and you'll never be ready. The fact that every person I hold dear will experience the same thing terrifies me as well. I'm aware that absolutely every single person goes through these feelings, but I can't distract myself, I need a coping mechanism. Recommend me books that will make me stop fearing death. Anything.
