any good reads on the idea of love.not particularly with any one human being. just a read of immense love for someone, something, or an idea.

Love sucks. I think I might kill myself soon.

i might kill myself soon too. because of this love shit. i'm trying to read shit like this in order to figure out love. i don't think it's real anymore.i have no true love for the things i once loved. no true ambition, and no true redeemable qualities.

I'll try to wait until I'm 25 before I commit suicide. At that point my brain will be fully developed and I'll know if things are actually shit or not. I'm trying to be more responsible for myself and do all the things that a person needs to be happy. I haven't found a way to escape this anguish and misery yet. I'm already acting more recklessly than I used to. I'm going to do some extreme things when I'm sure that I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to live in the woods for a few weeks/months, I'm going to move to a third world country and live there, I'm going to take ego-death doses of psychedelics.

Good luck, king. I’ve tried saving myself through reading. Only brings more despair and hopelessness when you realize how irreversibly fucked the world is when you know it could be so much better.

I don't even have anything wrong with me other than a childhood of neglect and adulthood loneliness. The physical contact in a relationship helps me feel better but I'm single for now. All I need is one girl who wouldn't mind my clinginess and I'll survive. If I get married to a kind woman soon and get to spend my life with her I'll feel alright. I guess that's an obtainable goal.

A century of advertisements glorifying youth has made us all believe that only the first third of our lives are really worth living, but it's worth bearing in mind that some people find joy much later in life. Before the 20th century it wasn't youth but age and experience that were valued most. Young men would dress up like old men to appear older. Speaking more personally, as someone who's approaching 40, I can tell you that my 30s have been so much better than my 20s. In your 20s you don't know who you are yet. You have all these confusing thoughts and emotions as you try to find your place in the world, and though you may be at your physical peak you're probably at your low point mentally, and in the end it's your attitude, not your appearance, that will determine the quality of your life. At least wait until you get into your 30s to decide. You'll start to see everything differently then.
