How many hours a day do you read? Is it worth the opportunity cost? It seems to me reading is something you should heavily in your adolescence and then do sparingly after that. Discuss

A family of foxes has moved into the area, I have seen a few of them oft by the side of the road driving home in the morning. A nightjar has nested in a tree above my house.
I am surrounded by a beautiful land which has been my home for twenty two years now. I have learned it well, and may walk the forest and field effortlessly, to lodge there is an easy matter. I have honed strength, so that I may toil for as the day is long without issue, and have studied, am studying, will study trade upon trade to make my way. And yet for all of this, I am bereaved by the cold nature of my being.
How is it that people can witness you fail catastrophically, build up mistakes like lashes upon your back, and yet still love you even when those mistakes hurt them? WHY do they do this, even when they have seen that you are, for all of that skill and drive, a worthless, lowly creature. WHY do they want you around, even when you makes their lives worse for the illnesses of the mind you have accrued?
Does that make you something of value, to be so loved, or does the mark of quality lie with them for tolerating your insufferable, harmful presence?
Where the fuck is the line drawn?

The Age of Innocence

what does it mean if your piece gets placed at the very end of a lit mag? It's happened to me a few times now and I'm wondering if its a good, bad, or arbitrary thing.

that´s so fucking right

Is it pretentious to start a group whose main focus is questioning? Is there anything like that?

Not a group that questions everything so much as a group of people who ask interesting philosophical questions and performs thought experiments to grasp morality and humanity?
