I've identified intersectionality as being a purely evil influence. There is no grey area when it comes to intersectionality. I have an enemy. My life is purposeful.

Not very well, honestly. On prednisone for poison ivy and taking a lot of diphenhydramine. I'm writing multiple stories that are barely going anywhere. I'm debating what I want to do in one hobby and can't come to a consensus. I'm itchy. Bored. Here in America we're probably going in to lockdown again because Americans are too childish and stupid to wear masks.

I've been feeling the same way recently, it seems like everything I do seems fake and pointless. I used to spend a lot of time seething online about politics but now doing that and seeing others do it makes me want to vomit. Reading is a good distraction but nothing I read seems like it matters at all

I'm fucking mad. I fucking hate everything. I woke up today to the news that some loser who streams himself playing video games in his 30s killed himself and felt a jolt of satisfaction at the thought that this juvenile decadent subculture is in the process of collapsing in on and eating itself. Trying to change my life but it's hard. I feel listless every day, as if there's a great big bell jar over my head preventing me from seeing possible futures.

bit lonely though and this time actually sad about it as well.

[Anonymous No.15760603]

I am miserable. Making some progress through the empiricists, though. Read Locke, now on Berkeley. Hume is next. It's pretty dry stuff, but I'm trying my best to build a good foundation in philosophy. I find I am able to understand this stuff better than I have in the past, which is encouraging. I feel very lonely these days. I'd like a gf, but I'm not even sure where or how to start. I have a bunch of matches on dating apps. Just can't bring myself to message any of them. It would require so much effort on my part--effort I cannot justify taking away from higher pursuits such as lit and philosophy. There are very few girls worth that effort (there are some). How do I find them in the sea of tattooed, drug-using cookie cutters? I am trapped.

I was feeling pretty awful last week due to my poor academic situation, lack of social contact or friendship, lack of direction or purpose in life and other miscellaneous things that bring me to despair but then I remembered that all of that stuff is a perception issue and not something I can fix by changing my material surroundings. Feel breddy gud now.

LOL dont worry. It is only at least a dozen more years for you to read all necessary philosophy and understand it. xD but only if you stay persistent and don't struggle.

Came the closest ever to killing myself the other week but I'm back on SSRIs. Feeling pretty flat, but stable at least. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll probably kms sometime in my life. Life is torture.

stop fapping when you feel that the horniness is repressible without forcing it, otherwise u r not really horny u r just repeating a behavior to get some dopamine, there is so much better stuff to do even if you're locked inside, find variety.

And that in turn leads to feedback loops and increased physiological horniness to the point where you have an uncontrollable erection 20 minutes after masturbating twice when you see a woman in real life. There isn't any cure. It gets worse the more you do it.

the book I just finished last night left me feeling really sad in a way that i really did not need right now

[Anonymous No.15760865]

I'm holding up well. I graduated with honors but I'm throwing that degree out the window to become a police officer in a year's time or so. Realizing what I wanted to do, or at least realizing what I didn't want to do, saved my life.

I threw away my drugs and paraphernalia. I deleted my suicide note. I feel comfortable keeping my pistol loaded. I came to terms with the death of my grandmother. I realize now that my loved ones dying isn't so bad; I'll see them again. I'll spend every moment with my loved ones enjoying life and each other. Holding ill will towards others is useless: I love everyone (love as a behavior, not an emotion). I thought I could never be in a relationship: now the most wonderful girl I've ever met and I are soon to celebrate six months together. I read more and watch movies less. I work out more and play video games less. From middle school until now, I've never been so happy and fulfilled. My life has a purpose.

You anons can do it too; it will come randomly one day and everything will be better.

The one thing that has become worse is my ability to write. I was a much better writer when I felt depressed. The emotions came much more freely, and it is easier to sort through your emotions to decide what to put into your work than it is to think up emotions and make them seem genuine.

> I thought I could never be in a relationship: now the most wonderful girl I've ever met and I are soon to celebrate six months together.
I'm only telling you this because I imagine you'll appreciate it—that should be a semicolon, not a colon.

>Holding ill will towards others is useless: I love everyone
This one is also questionable, but not egregious. Consider restructuring.

>I read more and watch movies less. I work out more and play video games less.
The anaphora and epiphora are your friends.

The semi-colon is very good for the before/after sequence, especially if one clause is a fragment. You'll find your way back into a writing groove, my friend. You just have to adjust how you view the world and start channeling your emotions through a different kind of process.

Best of luck with your career in LEO. Be good to your loved ones and to yourself.
