I want to do everything and do nothing. I like arts, music and literature. But liking everything is the same as liking nothing. What are some books about someone who is trying to find his passion in life?

It's a common enough feeling.

Why the fuck did you mirror that image?
Also pretty much every book ever. However you won't find passion beyond books in books. Just start to do things and keep doing what you like.

Everything is a distraction from everything else. Forget yourself and start absorbing and creating in all aspects of your life. The noosphere wil thank you.

anon prolly saved it off /lit/, the mirrored one fits better with the board in terms of composition.

Might sound autistic or pretentious but I agree.

Bed right window left creates a "memory" of lying in bed looking outside
Window left bed right gives more focus on the bed like you are observing it

Reading direction and all that

They're twin beds.

We scan images from left to right.
The above image is the cold, wet world creeping into our comfortable, insular lives and disturbing our peace.
The lower one is getting out of your bed and opening the window to look out into the bright world beyond our immediate surroundings.

bedside being postside is like the speaking OP is in bed. other way around it's more of just a random picture.

But the outside looks poetic not creeping.
Hence your interpretation for me turns on its head

Above is giving light to the bed where you observe someone
Mine is someone starring into the unknown

I agree in a way. When I see OP I feel like I observe the person who posted
Mine feels more like an expression or introspection.

What you said sounds autistic but I honestly completely understand and agree with what you're saying. Probably the smartest thing I've read on this board in a long time.

Passionate people tend to be blinkered, focusing on one thing exclusively usually. It's like some psychological abnormality. The world is spread out and will become even more so in the future.

>i like daydreaming
>that's the same as reading books, making music, and creating art everyday right?
>i'm also superman
