/lit/ - Literature

Sounds like you're one yourself. You are unworthy of enjoying my 45-year-old company.

>I hate retarded 20 somethings who pretend to read.
I'm a retarded 30+ who pretends to read, but in reality wastes so much time at work that has no energy whatsoever to read anything worthwhile.

The joys of being a responsible adult are overrated.

Years between 27 and 33 are crucial for learning.
No man should live more than Jesus.

I don't "pretend" to read. I'm 19 years old, and I've dedicated much of my adolescence and youth to absorbing knowledge and others' experiences through reading, and applying it onto my writing. Literature is the way through which I feel I can be in contact with others' minds and thoughts.

Plebeian.
What's the point to reading fiction if you want it to be all just like real life, instead of seeking absolute beauty, perfection, and truth?

Oldfag, here forever, periodically attempt to help mantain a certain quality- perhaps in vain. Haven't the time I once had for it, though, but do emerge now and then.

Lmao just read the shit in the afterlife

>>11616282
At a point you are able to tell that Literature has certain pictures that always mean the same thing. Like rabbits representing innocence, Nature implying The Garden of Eden, or Light representing hope or positivity or something like that. And think about what every event or scene means, because if the author did his job right, then it has to mean something.

Being 27 my feet are all saggy

I'm 29 and hating every minute of it.

This has been the most difficult and unpleasant year of my life since I was 19, so I guess there's something to be said about the last year spent before transitioning to a new decade.

In the middle of my 20s, there were some good times. Struggles, of course, but maybe a solid 5 or 6 years where I wasn't worried constantly or stressed out about bullshit.

I hope I can say the same thing about my 30s. I hope there are more good times than bad. I'm trying really hard to make sure everything is set up properly for this to be the case. But it's even harder now than it was at 19 because I have fewer options and less naive optimism about the future. I've already tried a bunch of things and failed, checked them off the list.

>>11615724
God, I'm lonely.

>>11616282
You just think you forgot it, but the knowledge is somewhere and will pop out it the nost usefull and sharp moments

>>11616752
I like mature soles, pls post, I'm so desperate

You fuckers make me stress about the future.

>>11617303
That's good because the future is very scary, especially for those of us that have more of it to fear.

>>11617303
when you hit 27 everything younger will be bringer of fear. you prodigal destiny is then over, if you ever had one. you become equal, drone, there is nothing special about you.

good thing is that you know what you want, by self-knowledge or simple vapidness of your age. you waste less time. it's also much easier to kill your self.

if you're over 25 and haven't read the meme trilogy get the fuck out of my face

>>11614713
>years of studying philosophy and mysticism starts to congeal right as I turn 27

God this is so true. What is it about 27?

>>11617303
Don't worry about it. You're not them. I've mentioned this in other threads about aging, but my 30s were much happier than my 20s. I'm now in my 40s and life is still good. Your fears will mold your future, but only if you let them.
