> just suck it up until you die
Was this supposed to help me out of my existential vacuum?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 29 12:29:16 2017 No.10332010 Is that really the message? My therapist suggested i read this book but i just keep reading depressing novels. Currently waiting for Dazai's The Setting Sun in the mail.
