I have this pretty cool sequence of events in my head that would make a pretty nice story, except for the fact that I have absolutely no idea as to what the theme is or should be. What lesson the main character should learn from these events that will transpire to them.

An ebook isn't a physical entity that can be pointed to, picked up or looked at and allow you to identify that object with the ideas, characters and events of that book. An ebook remains a somewhat nebulous collection of ideas, characters, etc. while a physical book is a symbol that encapsulates and represents all that was read.

I have no idea how this is supposed to answer your question.

You gotta have the right approach to meds if you're gonna take them. Think of them as a crutch that'll help you get up and limp around so you can eventually run. Never think of them as a wheelchair; it won't help you walk and get better, it'll just give you a bit more mobility and keep you grounded at the end of the day.

I always preferred Kenneth Branagh version myself. He brings such a human component to Hamlet that the others lack. Hamlet was a Renaissance prince after all and Burton and Olivier bring more of a medieval and Gothic feel to it; they belong in the world of Richard II not Hamlet. Also Branagh's 'Alas, poor Yorick!' is the best version I have ever seen in my life. it's the only version that shows what the connection Hamlet would have had with Yorick would evoke in him emotionally, he wasn't an old friend who passed on where you can look back and reminisce, he was a second father to Hamlet while his own was away fighting old Fortinbras. Anybody that's reading this reply for the love of God just watch this scene:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DxFccxK1Q4

Fucking magic.

First part of a story I'm writing about a man who thinks the future of the world lies in utilitarian thinking and writes letters as a sort of memoir for whoever rents the room after him. The letters are found and then presented to the readers as we follow the life of a man who slowly comes to realise that living life by a mathematical and logical system only leads to ruin for himself.

Happening to me right now. I'm about to turn 24, and recently realized that I just don't care as much anymore. The hate has become mere dislike, the love is now a hazy fondness, the crusading turned to compromise.

It honestly feels really weird: politics was a huge part of my life from when I started high school. I have written well over 200 pages on the topic, and read much much more. And now its just... gone.

Where do you go from here? Is there any practical use for my years of autism, or do I just look back at it as a child playing around when they had the time? I know I'm blog-posting but I'm honestly glad that others have had the same thing happen. Right now it feels like I suddenly lost my right leg, I tried to take a step only to find that my foot was gone. And yet I did not fall, and am just as balanced as ever. Maybe even more so.

In addition to everything else said in this thread I think it's big that this guy doesn't seem to have a higher purpose for himself. In his life there is no serving his community, country, hospital, God, whatever. This also flows into not being part of a community which a sure way to become depressed and unfulfilled.

Tfw I’m only /fitlit/ to give credence to my unyielding superiority complex.

I'm an artfag that wants to write short one-off comics.

I know characters' actions lead the plot along but what's the difference in characters doing things vs a story with a plot?

Journey to The End of The Night, not the worst but I don’t understand the hype, maybe it’s better in French but it’s the worst of the books I read during break.
Painted Bird, Perfume, and some Terry Pratchett were the others I read.

I have a long time friend I usually only hang out with in a group. Whenever I talk to him one on one it feels like we're speaking perpendicular to each other. It never quite clicks and I mull over our conversations long after.

Write some of your poetry , i'll start :
As i'm standing in the shadow of the moon,
i realize my demise will come soon.
Silence is golden, solitude is bliss ,
my eye sheds a tear staring at the beauty of a red eclipse.
I see the waves dancing with the sand so gently , each new movement more beautiful than the last ,
i smell the salty ocean , blue and unknown stretching across great distances so vast .
I think of photons , flying across the universe so fast ,
i realize , at this very moment, i am alive...

I set out to write a thing about a guy and his teacher, and it turned into a eulogy about a man who doesn't exist by a man who doesn't exist and I don't know what to do about this feel.

>graduated by doing essays instrad of tests. Get a 3.3 GPA/A- overall grade which was really my own fault for not going to lectures and shit before Covid
>Had to do English along with History and fucking hate it, all lectures are full of pseuds and the lecturers are literal autists who just want you to buy 60 euro textbooks to use for one essay. Pass with like A C- grade or something.
>Get my results sent out to me and realise my degree was the average of both subjects instead of two separate results
>Only way I can do my masters is if I get in through the backdoor relying on references from my Joyce lecturer
Always have to do things the hard way

I can't roll my Rs unless I speak so powerfully that I'd scare everyone I'd ever talk to.
>can't improve articulation unless I speak louder
>this 'louder' that I never use is actually just my original speaking voice
>people think I'm pissed

I think I've become too aware of how the universe actually is and how pathetic humanity's role in it is, much less my pathetic role in humanity at this pathetic time in history.

How do I delude myself back into a state where I can take my reality seriously, and maybe not be happy but at least complacent with my role in it?
