/lit/ - Literature

Started to realize my intended career path is mostly a dead end. Sucks because it seemed like the perfect marriage of all the stuff I like. Disillusionment is a bitch. Oh well, time to pursue a different kind of labor that pays better so I can spend my free time doing cooler shit.

I hate Law School so much, I just want to write and die before 50.

Books for coping with this?

Literally me

I miss him bros.

I don't think he will be coming back. Even if he does come back to sanity and normal intelligence, I don't think he will ever live up to the image of him that was built up by his fame. I don't think anyone could.

I remember when /lit/ used to like him, back in the days of his Kermit video, and him speaking up against the University of Toronto.
We used to have several pro-peterson memes: the one I remember best was the one modelled off the Bogdanoff meme, and the one with him looking behind a shrub with the message "hey kid wanna know some archetypes?" People were genuinely curious about him back then: the counter-memes weren't being parroted yet, and it just seemed people were kinder. Not so cynical. And, I don't know, it felt like something new was breaking into the world for once.

Something changed since then around here.
Maybe we all got a little older and wiser and more cynical as time went on, or maybe different people browse here now.

I miss those days.

I spend longer and longer from /lit/ each time I leave it now. And I know that very soon will come a day that I no longer come here.
I will be someone who "used to browse 4chan." And this too will be good and proper, and another part of what is called growing up, although the thought of leaving here, where I have learned so much, fills me with a lingering sadness, a sadness that I am still unable to name.
That feel hits differently nowadays.
