Pretty boring, the fun parts are chapter 11 and on. Everything before is rambling and daddy issues.

Be warned, long post incoming:

Nothing but truth here. The story is based on my time with two therapists. One online that I did willingly and one in person that my mom forced me to. My experience is that therapists are frauds. I told my problem and issues I had. To give insight to my "issues" is that I have very strict parents and they're pretty much forcing me to university. After taking Geography class and hating it I dropped out. That made me pretty much the talk between my relatives. For days or weeks they nagged me. But it worked out as I'm studying History and love it. I have worked things out with parents too so it's better than before.

In conclusion the therapists gave me none advice, They just encouraged me to leave the house. Bitch I would do that if I knew how. So I asked her how to get a job and hoped to me that she would present me to someone who had a job but all she did was give me advice that I could have found out online.

So after that I started working on this story. I wrote this as a way to accomplish a therapy session for myself that worked for me. All the personal shit I didn't tell the therapist cause she would probably judge me and give no advice whatsoever. So I wrote down my opinions of my family and other emotional shit to this fictional therapist. After that I decided to write a story based on these characters. So I wrote this not so long after finishing high school and dropping out of Geography and going to a therapist. So the feelings and emotions I had were pretty fresh. Thats how the story came to be, my own experience.

I wrote this when I was 19 in fall of beginning of September. As I was a drop out and had no job I had plenty of time to write this. I was done the 4th of January (the date I sent the story in), So it took me 4 months. My birthday is in June so I'm still 19.

This is too long for me to edit and correct sentences and I'm lazy so I won't do that.
In conclusion writing this was a big therapy session for me and I feel better now pretty much because of writing this and also fixing my relationship with my family.

TL:DR
I'm 19. It took me 4 months. I swear I'm not an emo but I like emotional songs about actual emotions and feelings and not about "where are youuu, i'm so sooooryyyy"

Is /lit/ the smartest board on 4chan?

We all know that the future is uncertain, but does the past share a similar nature of indeterminacy?

do audiobooks work for you?

I tried listening to the Malazan series. Got completely lost in all the made-up names. I feel like they work best on paper.

More earthly books works fine for me, though.
