Novels? None. You'll filter any fiction through your state of mind. On the other hand, reading Epicurus and Prometheus Rising gives some men hope when they think they've lost their shot at contentment.

I personally recommend sinking yourself into a combination of exercise, socializing and intellectual effort, and then when you don't think about her as much do some shrooms and wipe that slate clean.

>why not love her forever
Because if she leaves you she'll forget about you in a hurry and even if her next lover isn't good she'll likely convince herself he's at least as good as you. Loving a woman who isn't loyal and respectful to you is delusion and/or self-flagellation for a perceived failure, not love.

I sorta support this with the exception of anyone with schizophrenia or derealization/depersonalization issues. If you've got one of those disorders don't go anywhere near psychs, but if you're healthy occasional trips are like steroids for your creative faculties.

Mason and Dixon

Reading Poetry right now.

Alabama

I write.

Christposters are super annoying since I grew up reading the fuck out of scripture and theology. If they're trolling they're doing a good job, but if they're serious then they have no idea how ignorant they are.

I don't like any threads. Somebody let me out of here.

I just wanna publish this novel, marry a Japanese qt and have a few kids while publishing more novels.

>Life on Earth in 100 years
I hope we reach something very near to post-scarcity and people are awakened enough that the economic system will be nothing we recognize today.
More likely, the distribution of wealth will be even more skewed and the earth will be overpopulated for the sake of running the capitalism machine at maximum speed for the benefit of those on top.
