>we finally reach engineering (she is also studying it though I have not figured which kind exactly)
>we get up to get out of the bus

>as I do this, I bump by head on the roof of the bus (near the seats it's not very tall since there is space for luggage above)

Would Marcus aurelius meditations fix this or will I cringe at this memory every time I see her?

>While reading
So are you reading or listening to music, tell me. Because if both, then none of them receive your full attention, which at that point what are you even doing.

It's the largest amount of people that have read anything I've written so far in my life.

A decade ago, I made a post mocking the creator of Zero no Tsukaima as he lamented not being able to continue his work because he was dying of cancer. I made fun of the people who liked his work too, I rejoiced in the fact that he was dying and suffering in his deathbed because his work was just retarded slop. Anyone could do it. There was nothing to his masturbatory retarded stories that should make people miss him. I hated him because he was enjoying his life. I hated him because he got recognition and fame. I hated him because he was doing something I wanted to do, something that took me 10 years to finally sit down and start doing.

Here I am, writing retarded slop that people enjoys and deeply enjoying it myself. Trying my best to actually put something good out. Spending hours developing a story and characters that SHOULD make any adult man cringe. I'm writing a world so removed from the misery and darkness that surrounds me that I'm frankly ashamed of being associated with it out of how saccharine and masturbatory it is... and I'm enjoying it. I'm putting effort on it, hours of my life sinking into this project that has been swimming in my mind for more than a decade, but that I never had the courage or the dedication to start.

I find it almost incredible that people enjoy this... that I still enjoy this against my better judgement. Who knows, if I really give it my all I might become good at it, good enough to turn a profit. Good enough to have some recognition. Good enough to see these characters become something else. Having hope is scary.

I'm writing sunny days from the edge of the abyss.

I'm tired of trying to be "le good" and pretending I want to sell this shit or be recognized. From this day onward I will just fucking write and I wont even post it here for scrutiny, I'll let my audience on royal road speak for itself. I won't care. I'm doing this for the same reason I play video games, because it is fun.
See you never faggots, goodbye!

I have a girlfriend and we are happy together. I think several people on this site won't believe when I say that this woman really, truthfully loves me.
I can't stop thinking of cheating on her. I am not only extremely superficial and vain, actively looking to get a taste of every single average to good-looking woman I lay my eyes on, I also crave the excitement and mystique of falling in love with someone.
It makes me feel sick to my stomach. I used to think it was because my girl needed to work more on her appareance, but I'm starting to think that even if she were a perfect goddess of sex I'd still think about fucking other women. That's the way most men's minds seem to operate. It is never enough.
I'm going to start looking after myself, working on my body and looks. I want to think that I'm doing this because I want to be an example for her and we can improve each other and be the best versions of ourselves for the other, but part of me is seeking a new "special someone" that will make me feel butterflies in my stomach and blood rush to my cock...

Oh no no no, this won't end well.

I just impulse bought 7 books and I haven't read or finished a book in about two years. This is the second time i've done this lately. How do I rediscover my passion for reading? I'll buy a haul of books and get excited to read them but when they arrive i've lost interest in them.

>The amount of retards who have never read Schopenhauer, and yet talk about his philosophy as if they were experts, it's outstanding in this board.
It's like whack-a-mole. You whack one and there's another. It get's tiring. I stopped caring after a while. In fact I think I'll just quit /lit/ now goodbye forever.

>looking to settle down and raise a family
"settling down" is so depressing. i want to have kids in the future but the thought of shacking up and settling into a suburban dad lifestyle just depresses me. i would have to care for a wife and kids, which means i'll never have the freedom to just quit a job, travel on a whim or take risks that might cost me money

My metaphysics professor told me scientists do lots of philosophy and they do it very badly. He said they should work together with the philosophers instead of arguing back and forth but really what he meant is that scientists should shut the fuck up for a second and sit down and listen to them lecture on metaphysics. I wholeheartedly agreed with him.
