Any good literature about giving up? I don't mean giving up on "life." I mean giving up on all dreams, ideals, grand visions, the lost hopes of the bittersweet past, and hope for adventure; instead, living in the moment and only treating with the world as it is, not as you hope it to be, or how it used to be.

I don't know. I dreamed that a girl was sleeping next to me and when I woke up I remembered that it wasn't real. Sometimes I sleep for twelve hours a day. If I didn't have hopes for the future I would not rise at all
