I am feeling quite sad these days /lit/. Can you recommend me some literary books that discuss being caught on the past? Most of my sadness derives from this feeling of loss... Like I lost friends, I lost a love, I lost many things in time, things that I still cling to and make it hard to move on. It feels like moving on will make me let these things go even further away from me than they already are, idk.
Maybe some books that somehow go over these thoughts can help me.

Read Walden
>A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty. We loiter in winter while it is already spring.

I feel you, man. Sometimes I wish to die young; carrying these feelings for decades and decades seem to be unbearable, but maybe we can learn to deal with them in a better way. That's what I am trying
