That's because you probably went into medicine because you "wanted to be a doctor" or worse "want to help people" and are just now realizing it. The best doctors are those who are fascinated by the medicine. The second best are in it for the money. Of course you would hate medical school and be miserable if you have no real interest in the material, and such really is the case with most doctors.

These days I often read the first 80-100 pages of a book and then move onto to something else if it isn’t grabbing me. I recently found myself combing through some of Salinger’s short stories though.

>How are you holding up
Been digging deeper into spirituality and meditation practices because I currently can’t work because of psychological trauma. I spend more time asleep than awake most days. I accidentally forgot to take my meds yesterday for the first time in months and immediately felt the difference, so at least I know the meds aren’t placebo. I also had fun talking with my gf a few days ago, but she plays on my mind a lot because I feel like she’s the only thing keeping me sane most days. Seems to me like I’m trying to achieve some kind of spiritual enlightenment and detach myself from the material world because I can barely function in “normal” society without wanting to kms. Seriously, I ever wanted to do in life was do creative projects, personal hobbies and have a family. Ever since I graduated university though, I’ve been completely lost because I just don’t do this wageslave bullshit that everyone else seems content with (I literally got fired from a past job because I insisted on working at my own pace). At least the projects are fun.

Yes, medfag here doing my internship. Medschool sucked. Went into it because some of the theory fascinated me (neurology and genetics). Now it's quite comfy. Not being emotionally attached "wanting to help people" gives you a great advantage in emergency situations. The female doctors with ambition to do good are the ones crying in the on-call room and burning out at 35.

I appreciate how thorough he is on showing the development of naval warfare between Trafalgar and WW2. Naval warfare always comes across as absolutely terrifying, I'm very glad to be a land dweller.

I've achieved everything I needed to but I reflect on 4 years of worry, anxiety and aloofness. I didn't make many new friends but kept my closest ones. I can't say I worked at breakneck speed but still deferred a lot of things such as travel for the sake of preparing to get into medicine. Most of all I hate the implications and consequences of living. There's this girl I liked and since Im talkin about her now, perhaps love. She isn't the prettiest, terrible body (flat) and is a week but sociable. I want to love her but our obligations to family, consequences of both the success and failure of the relationship, her expectations and so on interfere with it all. I saw her latest picture and she looked miserable and that made me feel the same also. I want to contact her again but I have to move interstate for said med school. I think Proust was right when be said something like decision to love is failure. I fail if I love her and I fail if I don't either. I miss you so much F.L.

I wholly enjoyed all of it, especially when you keep in mind that it's autobiographical, not fiction.
Just treating it like a book about the Freikorps would be an understatement, it also contains great lenghts of baltic civil war, weimar domestic terrorism and a prison episode, all of which are exceptinally capturing

I'll spend a few months being social but then retreat for a few months and do nothing but read and spend time alone. I've been drinking too much and I really wanna stop since I've gained 25lbs this year. I still have no license from a DUI a few years ago so my mom drives me to work. Eternal tfw no gf. My dad is dying of cancer but my spirituality keeps me from getting too stressed over it. I'm not afraid to die and I don't feel like anybody else should be either. My life is by all accounts sad and pathetic yet I don't find myself becoming depressed or unhappy that often. I have loyal friends, I enjoy my hobbies such as reading, riding my bike and foraging for mushrooms and wild plants in the local nature preserve, so that keeps me going.

Life dealt me several reality checks and I'm a better man because of it. I am grounded, realistic and content. I know what's important in life.

construction is a union job they make big bucks and basically can't be fired

>>19396111
Checked and makes me feel silly for doing an English degree desu. Aren't construction workers a bit gross though? I don't think I'd fit in with them but I am thinking I should go into construction now, but I don't want to be bullied.

>>19396106
I make pretty darn good money running a front end loader at a sand and gravel pit that is the highest output S&A pit in my state.
The coke addiction sucks but my boss is a coke addict too and helps cover my tracks if I ever get randomed.
I shitpost on 4chan all day while I’m high on coke and dumping load after load of concrete sand into dump trucks.

>>19396125
The pay is good but my hours suck balls. I see my kids like 2 hours per day.

Do you look and/or work with men who look like picrel? and would you get on with a meek and effeminate autistic 23y/o? I am considering construction but I don't think I'm cut out for it.

I want everyone that wears masks to die. Fuck. I see them on the street and beg God for mercy, acknowledging their existence causes me pain. It is like a worm gnawing at my love for mankind. It started a few years ago but I don't know how long I will go before my hatred of mankind destroys me.
Dramatic misanthropy, yes, forgive me.

They don't read here, so they are scared of big scary words. Plus Post-struc isn't really anything real, it was an umbrella term for many things.
