/lit/ - Literature

my life is so utterly boring yet my ambitions are so great. i want to live my life like the protagonist of a novel - to be satisfied on death's door knowing my life, my magnum opus, is beautiful like the lives of Diogenes of Sinope or of Alexander the Great or of Socrates or Jesus or Achilles or Patroclus. i want to perform moonlit serenades and to befriend larger-than-life characters. sorry for the cringe-fest but i find it extremely difficult to properly articulate these feelings. i suppose what i want to know is how to make my life match my ambitions and my sense of aesthetics.
