The problem was that, despite our active sex life, she would oscillate between being on them and off. Since we were stoners, we would have an extended amount of foreplay, which would make her climax before I did, but at the end she would end up in a depressive haze because she always suspected me leaving her. Alas, her suspicions proved true and I hated ending up in a cliché: you don't know how good you've had it until it's over.

I'm a 23yo virgin and I can never get past hooking up why is my life like this. I always either get girls who ghost me or girls who are prude weirdos but are too focused on work to have a relationship. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

are there any books about lifelong celibates whether it's voluntary or involuntary?

Yes, and no.

I'm not envious that he's a furry porn artist. I'm envious that he writes prolifically and serviceably and draws prolifically and well. Furry porn is just the common medium through which we both express our creativity, and he expresses his better than me. Hence the envy. There's nothing particularly special or worthy about him except that he's one of the handful of furry artists who have their IRL shit together, and that's what I want to be - someone with a successful normalfag life who also writes and draws prolifically, perhaps to the shallow adulation of malformed twitter idiots but at least to some acclaim.

I fucking hate furry artists and always have so I've always wanted to upstage them by being as good as they are but competent and successful. It's one of my life goals. And here is someone beating me at it, without even wanting to. So I sit here and seethe. That's not all I do - I am, myself, practicing and improving - but the boiling rage remains and visits itself upon me intermittently. It feeds into the snap realisation I had not long ago that I've failed at every single significant goal I've ever set for myself because I am a lazy sloth. I deeply hate myself, but without the fashionable self-pity. This particular furry artist is just a latching-on point - a concrete expression of the causes of my young-adult-life crisis - that I suppose I have in some sense constructed into an idol and put on a pedestal, and told myself that if I can tear it down I will have won.

I'm self-aware enough to realise that these are the insane ramblings of a mad retard, but not in good enough control of myself to let go.

And here I said I was going to stop blogposting.

>everyone is staring at me including staff
>panic and quick-walk out of the shop
>as I'm walking down the street hear a man's voice yell out "Oi mate... you have to come back!"

This happened a year ago now and I'm still worried to go back to the shop in case any of the staff recognise me.

Has a book ever made you cry, /lit/?

My mental health is shit as usual and I have been drinking too much. Should I read Siddhartha or 2666?

I want to read Ulysses, but I'm scared.

>one more fail and ill be permanently banned from all EU libraries

How do i improve my writing? i write like a sixth grader in terms of grammar structure and punctuation.

How do i improve that? i know i'm late at the age of 21 but if i start from now i'll probably be able to write like a competent adult by the age of 30

I'm an ESL brainlet way out of his depth that can't even finish reading a page of Finnegans Wake, it's just incomprehensible gibberish to me. Fuck I can't even grasp Heraclitus, I guess I've hit the ceiling, what now?
