Apart from reading books, what does it mean to be /lit/? What is the /lit/ life-style?

>> No.14859741

Learning, thinking and writing some. It seems to have a lot to do with the cozy life.

It’s about escaping. that is until you accidentally escape from heaven. then it’s about find your way back, except the way back is forward, and what you had is what’s coming. Then it’s about faith. A phenomenological eschatology, ontological parousia. It’s all a matter of time. A sentence to time one sentence at a time, a life sentence to thine eyes

It's an asylum from the world. It's honestly similar to being a NEET except you're actually educated and have literary goals. It's been called dignified leisure as well.

Alternatively, working a day job and using all your spare time to read and write.

/lit/ is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very thread. you are /lit/ when you look out your window or turn on your television. you are /lit/ when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes.

>waste time studying something your not passionate about but will “give you a good life in the future” with a “good job”
>waste time doing meaningless things to take your mind off of how miserable you are in spare time, drink, go out, shit post etc.
>waste time at a job that you don’t
>waste money from said job to take mind off how empty you feel
>waste time to forget that your life is this, vacation, affairs, etc.
>waste life, get old, stick to a routine like it’s your religion because of that looking void that is the memory of your absolute nothingness

/lit/ is about avoiding this

Most writers do at least one of these, pretty much every modernist one did several.
