How can I accept and move forward from being a brainlet. I still enjoy reading but the realization that I’m an idiot makes me want to do it less.

>Mummy has BANNED me from fiction writing until I find a job

My time as a starving writer is OVER /lit/. My mummy has tooken my laptop (which she paid for admittedly) and won't return it until I have found a job. There is a document with over 98 thousand words on there that I'm turning into a novel but she won't tell me where she put it so I can just overpower her and retrieve it. I'm so fucking mad I'm at the library right now filling in my job seekers weekly job search but my heart is racing. Hopefully I can find a call center job soon and work there so I can my novel back, publish it and get the HELL out of mummy's home using the royalties to escape. Mad doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling right now.

>One boy, Karl Gruber, from an impoverished family with six children, became a favourite. The two studied Latin, Greek and mathematics together from four to seven in the evening, then dined in Wittgenstein's room. He proposed to Karl's parents that he adopt the boy, offering to send him to the city and finance his education.
>proposed that he adopt the boy
>Witty will never take you out of your small rural village, adopt you and tutor you in the city
