yup, my teenage wife's absolutely gorgeous and she went to a doctor appointment today while i was at work that i had scheduled for her and proceeded to get put on psychiatric hold against her will and i had to leave work early today and they wont let her leave until tomorrow and if her mental health was bad before now it's worse than ever

are you confused? does the bottom always drop out? do you feel like you're walking in the clouds? nothing you can make out above or below? do you feel like a whale in the black water? anything could come from any direction and all you can do in response is move forward and swallow? do you read and find yourself wondering how one sentence came after another sentence? what was the writer thinking following this one clump of words after this other clump of words? do your tabs build up? a million daily discrete bits of information and it’s impossible to tame any of it? Eh bien, i know, believe me. i promise i am at least as confused as you are. this is your safe space as it is mine, post your confusion! the characters and the literature and what are you confused about? we are in this together

life is the waiting room bro. life is zeno's paradox, you are always between where you were and where you want to be.
NEWS FLASH: never nobody likes anything ever when it’s happening ever. never nobody has ever arrived anywhere and been happy ever. this hasn't happened and MRIs will prove me right

ok, your peers have phds and high paying jobs. what then? now what? learn to add +1 to every thought. proof by induction. you've answered my question in your head when i asked you what now, but now add +1 again. now what? what then? after all of that, what then? keep going, what then? everything you said there, you nailed it completely, your only mistake is not realizing that's life. you are describing life, this is it

>creates a whole self-contained metaphysics and cosmology more plausible than any mystic or esoteric system based on the simple axiom that duality is evil, solving the most important problem in religion, that of evil, using only Lucretius, Norbert Wiener, and a Stanford course on Fourier Transforms
>nobody cares

can you guys all STOP fucking posting right now. can we all agree for one hour a day that nobody will post anything interesting on this board so we can all get more reading done. i'm sick and tired of giggling at all your fucking great posts about ugly book covers and what it reflects on society, our collective reading journey and its discontents, my never getting anything done because while reading about something in some dusty book about events long passed, i might be missing something happening right now, so please STOP posting.
