Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I'm taking a medication that gives me auditory, tactile, and sometimes visual hallucinations before I fall asleep. Worst of all it gives me sleep paralysis, so I can't wake up from this half-dream state. It's honestly terrifying. Sometimes I will sense a shadowy figure creeping around my room, pressing itself and sometimes touching my body. I hear footsteps everywhere. This onetime I heard what sounded like a festival of ghosts happening in the empty room next to me. One time I heard what seemed like the soundtrack to the battle of Stalingrad. Deafening explosions, the bark of gunfire, the clanking of machinery, officers yelling orders and a near constant chorus of blood-curdling death rattles and anguished cries that is difficult to believe.
It's kind of cool, but it's really stupid that people actually consider something that can do this to someone's mind "medicine."

On the night of September 25th I dreamt of Madison and Chris. The appearance of Chris isn’t so bizarre; either this month or last marks his birthday. I sent him no celebratory note (as I still do with Maya), partially out of lazy-and-or-forgetful-ness and also because he would probably feel less guilty hearing from me. This is likely a projection of my feelings towards Stephen upon my friendship with Chris but even if so, does it matter?
In that dream world, Chris had a significant other. That isn’t so alien even though he had no one in the year I knew him. She was tall and raven-haired; not Julia, the girl of his desires but someone good for him. Someone who finds me obnoxious; I’m aware of the latter because she has appeared in past dreams where there was contention. Even so, I would be okay with that if Chris was happy. He deserves happiness and I will forever feel regret for always bothering him.
I find myself tempted now to write to him but I know how distracted I’d be if Stephen did the same out of the blue.
I guess I should talk about the dream; Chris was preoccupied and left me alone with Madison. I felt like I was waiting for my father to return; Madison and I were discussing my failures with a friend she’d set me up with, her playing the wingman role. Suddenly there was a profession of affection from both parties; we embraced and understood that we wanted each other. She removed all her clothes and she laughed when I pulled her to me from behind, my loins against hers. I felt lust but also contentment; we didn’t have sex. I should mention that I’m a virgin but have had sex dreams every so often.
Dad arrived almost immediately and knocked on the door. I’m not sure where we were, maybe a high end single-wide trailer. When he came in I think he noticed Madison redressing; this gave me a feeling of pride and I think he would approve of her; the dream ended soon after.
The analysis here I guess would start with the fact that I’ve probably never said two words to Madison in my life. I think she smiled at me once when there was a golf tourney and we passed each other in the clubhouse. Hell, I’ve probably spoken more to her mother, who was a substitute teacher at our high school. Now that I think about it, the last time I saw either of them was the first time I went out with my parents after returning from Chicago. I don’t think Madison recognized me but her mother quizzed me about my time away.
I spoke with my faux confidence, something I did often then and sometimes still do now but less often. I was hyper aware of Madison being present in the pew behind me and also of other people present that I knew. This was before I received treatment and medication but I think I was more or less lucid at the time. If I had to do it over, I’d probably say the same things I remember saying then.

I'm starting to get burned out by the total control over thought that the media and silicon valley fags have. They collude to suppress stories, they editorialize, they suppress google results and social media trends, they fiddle with Trump's tweets just to rub it in your face that they control the medium and discourse. No matter where you go or what platform you use, you can feel them tinkering with it behind the scenes to rig the game in their favor, and then you watch the rubes line up to suck their cocks and let it continue.

I hate them so much. I don't give a fuck about Trump or partisan politics, I hate dishonesty, thought control, and smug oligarchs and metrosexual tech hipster millionaires thinking they ought to decide what the truth is. With their millions of sheltered interns from rich families with bachelor degrees from Brandeis and Duke, who think tranny twitter politics is a legitimate revolution.

The thing that makes me so mad about that is they started banning covid "disinformation" off all their platforms, except that they would ban actual real information that showed covid was not dangerous, but left up literally 100s of thousands of Chinese bots spreading pro-lockdown messages. Sweden seems to be the only country on Earth the Chinese don't have their hooks into yet. Check out that Tablet mag article up the thread.

1. posting what are probably fake tax-returns is so fucking genius. What's he gonna do, refute them? lmao

2. still talking to a woman. I've taken a pretty hard autismo track: just writing a lot about exactly how I think about things. so far she is responding, but I suspect she will stop soon. if she can go along with my way of seeing things, she could be really nice, but I think probably in the end she can not. We'll see.

3. writing paper is going so and so. I have to write about marxism (scandi uni lmao), and marxism is such a hodgepodge of shit. Like, marxists claim every possible critique of any kind of business practice as their own. But I can't write about every conceivable business practice. I think the assignment is retarded. I basically said that marxism is not useful for analysing energy politics, because marxism is about class struggle and energy politics mostly is not. Maybe some minor applications here and there, but mostly ther are different things. Sure there are things you can say, maybe, but it shouldn't be core marxism. I suspect the professor will say "no, marxism is everything. F." but I can't think of anything else to write. other than that it is going ok, I'll probably pass.

i began accumulating notes and highlights from all the books i've read from the past two months—and it's a fucking superpower. imagine having a distilled distillation of a book of already distilled knowledge combined with other distillations of already-distilled books from authors. imagine encountering an unknown scenario in your life, you flip through your personal-google notebook, and realize somebody experienced a similar scenario, and now, you have a light in a dark path. imagine that you want to create new ideas, so you look at your personal-google notebook, and combine several unrelated ideas, making those ideas have sex, and then producing a rather unique idea. imagine you want to write something, like a book or an essay, and instead of reading sources which could take hours upon hours and days upon days, you already of such sources with quotes and statistics readily available on command. imagine permanently getting rid of writers block because you have collected thousands of experiences from authors. imagine of having three libraries: one filled with all the books you have read, one filled with books you have not yet read, and one filled with notebooks of books you have read

i do see a problem with accumulating notes, and that it gives a feeling of gluttony and fake usefulness

Just today I realized why I'm almost always depressed and rarely looking forward to things. Throughout my entire life, whenever something 'bad' would happen, my parents wouldn't say encouraging shit but would say something like "that's life", "get used to it", "you ain't seen half of it yet".
For instance, after getting into uni almost 8 years ago (which I somehow managed to finish with highest class honors) and getting disappointed by a certain professor's way of teaching, both of them said "there will be plenty of disappointment in the upcoming years. Get used to it, your professor's lack of interest is but a drop in the sea compared to what's in store."
Then when I got a job almost 3 years ago and told them how unexpectedly cold and detached some people were, I got more of the same - "you'll only meet worse people from here on out". I don't think I've ever heard the words "it will be better" uttered in this house. Or anything like "it has to get worse before it gets better". I always had this negativity in the back of my mind, always awaiting disappointment and every negative emotion out there while I'm generally a happy person. This realization hit me like a truck today, literally while I was out and about walking and taking in some fresh air. But strangely enough, I feel better. At least now I get it and I almost feel excited for tomorrow.
I don't think I'll wake up tired and sad tomorrow morning, I think I'll just brush off all the negative bullshit and strut around like a child.

"What is man, what has he got?" It was a question that was roaming around freely in Andy K. Potters head for a while now. Not that he doubted his manlihood or was worried others did. Andy never really was the man to care about others anyway. But he did care about his wife and son. This morning just before he went to his little hideout in the snowy mountains she had said something. He was in the kitchen packing the absolute minimum to survive a weekend on his own. Some beef jerky, a sixpack, a bag of nuts. Every month or so Andy carved out a weekend like this. The wife had been upstairs washing junior when he heard her say it. Not overly angry, but still irritated as fuck: "You men are all the same, you'll grow up just like your father!" At the time he didnt think much of it, but the higher he drove his little truck up the mountains, the more the words haunted him. Wasn't his son supposed to grow up like him? Sure, it was a throw away remark, but aren't those the most honest? Andy sighted, opened up a beer and played a bit with the transistor radio. Even the machine had no answers for Andy other than white noise. He thought about his own father and the little time they spent together before he passed away last winter. Not that Andys dad was a bad man or anything, but still.. It had taken him a lot of effort to shed even a single tear during his funeral. Andy just didn't knew the guy that well.
"Ofcourse I'm all men", he said now to the snowy noisy world outside his cabin. Weren't all fathers? Especially for childeren as young as his one. That's why we never forget the names of our first teachers of our first real school no? Finally Andy understood the world again and he opened up another can. Next time he would take junior with him into the mountains. He would even start a big fight with his wife about it. The boy was old enough and just as much his responsibility as hers, he would argue. Yes, Andy would take his kid into the mountains and tell him about his father and the passed. He would answer questions. He would teach the kid about the importance of solitude every now and than. Andys son would grow up just like his father.

I’ve been sick for most of my adult life, and I’m starting to get tired of it. As soon as I go in for one surgery, something else pops up that requires another. To compensate, I’ve had to kill off parts of myself, which has left me cold and unfeeling. I’d like nothing more than to have a family of my own that loves me, but I don’t think that’s in the cards. But hey, people like my poetry, so there’s always that.

Recently I held onto the idea of relenquishing suffering. I was getting into Buddhism more and more, but now it seems as though I can't escape attatchment to things. If I give up attatchment to one object that attatchment goes on to something else, and then I worry about the past object. I guess doing more zazen would help, doing nothing so I dpn't have an attatchment to anything, but I like being attatched to objects. I enjoy reading, making music, playing games, relationships, thinking about how to live, and using this website. Maybe there is a later point within my existense where I outgrow the attatchment to attatchment, why do I and prrsumably others here have this attatchment when the suffering it causes is clearly apparent? As with most feelings this will pass, and all I can think about right now is how wrong I'm doing things. Going to school again, just working, working harder at music, taking writing more seriously all both feel like a wrong and right thing to do. I have the feeling of hemmerhoids growing more and more irritated typing this on the toilet at work. I had that last part planned, but my wtiting skills prove to be yoo mediocre to have donr anything better with it than simply mention it.

Tic toc.
A mechanical watch is the best purchase I made this year. A mechanical watch is something you have to take care of.
Everyday, I have to wind the mainspring. And every once in a while, I forget it and have to set the clock back to the correct time. I have come to realise that I care for my watch almost as much as I care for my pet. It is true what they say, when you have to take care of something, it makes you care about it.

Time is an important facet of life, and I am glad that I spend so much time caring about time, because time deserves some of my time. After all, all the time I have is merely a gift from time, can I not give a little back?

My watch is like a pet, yes. I care for it, and it cares for me.
My watch never stops ticking in an audible way, it's so rythmic, so soothing. Sometimes, when I am overwhelmed, I take my wrist up to my ear, and I let the watch chant for me. My heartbeat follows the rythm of the spinning gears, man and machine united in a glorious metallic symphony.

She is my sidekick, I take her everywhere, and everywhere, she sings for me. With my watch, I am never truly alone.

This may sound like the tales of an autistic kid, but I can assure you that I'm perfectly healthy, the family doctor has been very clear on this matter.

I wish I weren't smart, and I'm not allowed to wish that because people will assume I'm humblebragging, or arrogant, or whatever. I don't think I'm better than anyone because I've got a certain set of characteristics which nobody really understands. It just is. I'm an intelligent person. I think about things deeply and in great detail. Thinking itself is probably my most frequent pastime. I just can't bring myself to see any value in it.

I know people will want to try to invalidate my experience when they read this. I know this because I constantly want to invalidate my own experience of it as well.

I want to go to university to become a psychologist very badly, I'm very passionate about it. However, my grades are barely not good enough for it - it's an extremely tough education to get into here, top six of all availible, something like that. There's a university application test that's held twice a year, but it has been cancelled due to the pandemic twice, now.

I could apply to just about any STEM field except for the specific medical doctor line. Not sure if I should go and study something for a year or two, only to maybe have to switch education after that. I could work, but all the jobs to be found right now are really poor ones with variable schedule manpower companies that just randomly call you when you're needed or disease-infested elderly homes. If I can't do my dream it just feels kind of empty, somehow. Maybe it's different if I just go and do something.

I already miss the fragrance of the healing fields, akin to the refined taste and smell of black coffee during one's deepest delectation of it, but, by the grace of God, the saintly autumnal, and hibernal, air, conserves, and refreshes, this agricultural richness, in body, and in memory, until it finds its home again in Spring.

In this world, internal hotness is optimally conducted by external coldness; hotness preserves, and sustains, the internal through impression, whilst coldness conserves, and maintains, the internal throughout its expression --cold air carries sound easier; hot air brings image closer to rest.

On Feminism:

The nation's future is utterly dependent on its women, perhaps more so than its men. Men may safeguard the present and honor the past, but it is women who decide the nation's future. The political views of the mother are what children are exposed to in their development. Her faith is what they will spend more time absorbing, and her language is what the child will try to imitate and learn. In essence, we very much inherit our culture matrilineally. Growing older, the father or environment can play a greater role, but in that key time when a child's brain is a blank slate, the mother is what dictates what that child will learn.

Thus, the oppression of women is a genuine threat to the future of one's culture. If the oppression of women is present in a culture. there is always an anxiety that she might try to leave, that a woman might abandon her culture and country for another, freer one. And if enough women do this, the culture and the nation are living on borrowed time. Thus, a compromise of sorts is necessary. The rights of women are protected: they are free to work in and study whatever field they wish, dress as they wish, they are protected from domestic abuse, and their medical care is made a priority. In return, they must instill and perpetuate the values of the faith and culture, both in their family life and in their children. In this way, men serve women and women serve men, ensuring that the family, nation and culture have a bright future.

look at it this way: all kinds of experiences are good for psychology. you'll grow one way or another and as a therapist all of that growth will be gold for you. much better imo to do something a couple of years, then study, than coming out at like 23 doing clinical work. you're looking at a hard road ahead of you either way you do it, so preparing is certainly not unwise

I am unironically very far left but I am seriously getting sick of trans people attention-whoring and making everything about them and their trans-ness. It seems like trans is just a costume. They wear clothing (meant for women according to gender roles) and want breasts and a vagina. They want to be "real women" but what the hell is a "real woman" but literally some label we've assigned? They can't be the female side of reproduction which is one of the only things that set women apart from men.

I legitimately think, and I may be wrong, that it's just a fetish. Wanting to be another gender. Wanting to wear the clothes. Wanting breasts and a vagina. I think if our gender roles weren't as strict there might be less longing for the opposite. A greener grass sort of thing. A chased dream or desire. I'd say I'm actually pretty masculine, and not saying it to brag, but of course I've wondered what it'd be like to be able to wear a dress or something especially when it's hot. A kilt or skirt seems like a smart idea for heat. Leggings look comfortable. I'd be a liar if I said I've never thought about things like that. Eventually, I get over it. I return to our current reality. If men wearing skirts were normal would I? I don't know. Most likely since it'd be normal and I would think nothing of it.

I think I'm just annoyed by the identity politics that have taken over (actual) leftist circles and venting my annoyance at a target that is, honestly, acceptable to dislike. I'm not going to say, 'fucking mentally ill trannies deserve the rope' or anything. People just seem to take their one single issue and make it all about them. As if the plights of others don't matter or aren't as deserving. I also don't really like it when people build their personality around a single thing. 'Yeah I'm trans' and their identity becomes that. Everything focuses on it. Reminds me of some gay people. Or really just anyone. Gun people. Politics people. Bronies. Etc.

I don't know.

I'd exchange anxiety to feel any other negative emotion, even physical pain. There's nothing worse to me than anxiety, with shame coming in a close second. Anxiety is the reminder that you're a speck and subject to forces outside your control that can decide your fate or obliterate you in one flash. In a normal state of mind, we're usually unaware of these forces, but they are there. Anxiety is the realization that your limit might not reach or surpass the bar of life's cold reality.

It isn't just /lit/ socialists. Hardened socialists actively involved and registered as members of the Fourth International believe that identity politics and racial justice causes have been co-oped by elites. Idpol is a screen for this exploitative class logic.

Obama is a classic example. He presided over a massive upward transfer of wealth. He intensified deportations and drone strikes, expanding the war on terror to multiple new fronts in Yemen, Libya, and elsewhere. Yet liberals hail him as an incorrigible racial paragon, saying basically that his status as the first black president overrides all of that. These liberals, and the heterodox socialists that think like them, are positively hypnotized by the rhetoric of identity politics.

Kamala Harris is another one. An actual former hardline DA, a stealth reactionary that is sanctified because of what her skin represents for racial progress.

Identity politics generally benefits the status and prestige of an already established upper middle class layer, while the poorer members of that identity are subject to the materialist forces of financial exploitation . Because identity politics frames the issues in the wrong terms, (race etc) rather than structural socioeconomic issues of capital, these problems only fester.

I'd recommend some articles from the WSWS for a clear analysis of these phenomena.

Nothing in particular. Tiny and faint granules of anxiety and disappointment from different areas of my life, by themselves alone incapable of doing any damage to me, on occasion all seem to join together into one great burning ball of fire. It's a very low grade, faint form of anxiety without a definite object. Generalized anxiety if you will.

My position on race issues isn't straightforward. Blacks are generally at a disadvantage, but I disagree with using racism as the main explanation for why. I disavow for instance ideas like White Fragility and other such concepts that display racism as this fundamental metaphysical entity which cannot be debated or analyzed. And it simply isn't true that racism is the cause of all black poverty. It is, however, a convenient scapegoat, a simple platitude that diverts attention away from the strategic deployment of capital, a labor system that benefits from an perpetual underclass , for profit prisons and policing etc. African Americans generally have less social power, and institutional sway, so regardless , they are a convenient group to exploit.

The same forces affect white West Virginian coal miners, disinvested majority white post-industrial rust belt towns, etc. You simply can't see the big picture if your picture is shattered by identity politics.

As to whether there should be blacks in high level positions in the socialist organizations, to each according to their needs, from each according to their ability. I would not be apposed to black leadership if they proved capable. Artificially elevating or selectively choosing candidates based on their race is racist for one thing. It falls within the same idpol trap of trying to correct things through an idealistic morality rather than pragmatic strategy.

I just finished reading Lonesome Dove. The number of men in the old west who were complete incels who only fucked whores, if anything, was surprising to me. What I'm trying to get at is 'tfw no gf' is an American tradition. I think it was Wyoming or Montana that was the first state to allow women to vote, they only did this because they had no women in their state, imagine being a fella back then!

My Love, 2020.

The love which I carried in my chest, sat in the deepest region of my heart, was like an ember that should ignite a raging blaze when fuelled and afterwards requiring all my efforts in attempts to regain control over it; the mention of the name of my love, a lyric in a song, a reference to time and place, would open old wounds anew and breath life into my passion (and then directly, with this passion, into me). It was kept alight in my chest through years of deluge, sustained by memory alone, suppressed, until by chance my love and I would fleetingly meet again with my body was instantly consumed by fire, a giddy lightness would spread from the spark in my chest throughout my whole until everything else lost meaning but the feeling that propelled me through more turmoil than my typically calm mind could understand. As a man I had always taken pride in my collectedness, my refusal to anger quickly, to not be subjugated by something as beneath me as mere moods. But how arrogant I had been, for it was not that I was above these childish impulses to rage or adoration but rather that I had never experienced them in their truest form. When emotion is in its most crystalline purity, totally unknowable, its secrets held in darkness black as pitch and casting our mental states about like a ship caught in a storm, we can no more do to understand it than we can to control it. My strength had previously then not been self control but instead merely never having been confronted with the need to control myself. Finding myself gifted, or cursed, with this love then it was a thunderbolt of truth that made all revelations before it seem as hollow as actors in a play. The truth of my love would be shown- that there was nothing else, and nothing else which mattered, and nothing else which bring me to such a degree of despair or rapture. My previous self had been as cool and clear as the sky after rain, but was now permanently electric with storm clouds always threatening the horizon. Only in extremes could I bring myself to look away from these unknowable and foreboding images when I felt that I had become indifferent to her favours. If I pushed my body into a task requiring total absorption and an almost ecstasy from the self I was minutes before commencement, I would leave the body possessed by love and enter a new one in which second to second I experienced life as a man free from anguish, instead only having to parry and feint as needed, or place one foot in front of the other ever faster until I felt like an Olympian. Conversely if I felt myself imbued with her affection the same things which I did to escape the anguish of not being so would become monuments of my love to her (and to myself, for being loved by her). cont below

To work my hands raw, to practice frugality, to train myself became a means of honouring her, bettering myself for her and making myself more attractive to her and lent a direct sense of purpose to things which should have otherwise been as humdrum as alarm clocks and needing to bathe. Whilst in my mind I could ‘objectively’, meaning from the eyes of others who did not share my love, view her as a whole as something who would be unworthy for various reasons, her conduct frequently immoral and perhaps her physicality not up to some’s standards. But these people could never see as I had seen, since it was m love alone which colour everything about my world like red ink in clear water. For me she became a paragon of unearthly beauty, there was no woman who could compare to her for she possessed some rare essence which would never allow itself to be distilled or revealed, only ever hinted at through a twinkle in her eye or a coquettish smile. How special we feel to have been shown truth when others should be in the presence of it and pass over it with eyes blinded! But how this vision, persisting in us as a spark, would cause us to decouple from the path which have chosen for ourselves and be led by the collar through highs and lows. This kind of love, persistent and refusing to be tamed by reason, I had seen before in seperate incidences. A dear friend of mine was haunted by the love for one only which he carried in his heart in a fashion same as mine. All his other partners would eventually despair once they learnt the truth, despite his best efforts to quell the flames, crying out to him ‘But you never stopped loving her!’. That ax would instantly cleave them from him, and he would be confronted by, and left alone with, his love again exactly as if his most recent girlfriend had never been there. We shared our tasks, alone with them but united in the singleminded nature of this possession of the heart. For a decade now this spark which had the power to wake me from sleep with dreams, propel me towards a future as a well to do young man of respectable means, has lain in me. It defies explanation save this writing. What it holds for me, or her (which seems little since this love feels almost seperate from her) is as unknowable as the feeling itself.

Do I really need to?
Women's freedom has been nothing short of a catastrophy for our civilization. Social deconstructivism is a female endeavour, it may have been theorised by males, but females are the ones putting it to practice.

Women are delusional enough to believe all families are equal, gender is a social construct (even though it's actually a social manifestation of very real biological and neurological differences) and everyone should be able to do whatever they want, including terminating pregnancies, the seed of life, the very future of our societies, and beyond their own, they believe and support the delusions of the mentally ill.
Women have removed duties and accountability from society because they do not understand those concepts, and because men have given them the key of our society's future. We were weak and corrupted.

Feminists are inhabited by the idea of social simplicism, they are convinced that any social norm is arbitrary, corrupted by nature, and therefore can be torn down. Failing to realise that those norms developed in the course of thousands of years for very good reasons. Marriage, religion, gender.

Feminists are basically tearing down all the pillars of society because they do not believe them to be of high importance in the structural integrity of the building. They don't have any scientific data to backup their claims, simply crude sociological diarrhea that lacks any scientifical value, simply weak philosophy that we pretend is science. We are watching idly by while the temple is being destroyed, and we are standing in the middle of the altar. The temple will inevitably collapse on our collective heads.

Women were never there to teach children anything more than practicalities, it is nonsense to even put forth the idea that they should teach moral, politics and ethics to children, that will always remain the role of the father. Our society is sick because children are denied the teaching of their fathers, and also because their fathers have become weak and corrupted by hedonism, unable to provide those teachings.

We have grown weak and corrupted, and our days are numbered.

That doesn't mean they should be fetishized or held up as a standard. In all likelihood, a world where the workers hold the means of production would end up just as shitty as the one with the shareholders. Yes they are important, but they are also a dime a dozen. A shareholder, landowner, and a manager can all be reduced to a worker. Likewise you can give a worker money and power and watch them be as twisted as the shareholder. There is nothing intrinsically special or noble about a worker

I have to read certain books for my job - often bad ones that I don't want to read. What I do is I look at the number of pages, choose a date in the future I would like to have it finished by, and then calculate how many pages a day I would have to read to reach that goal. I try to make the goal far enough way that it only amounts to no more than 15-30 pages a day. That works for books I don't want to read, but if you pick a book you're interested in then it might be even easier. Also, before bed every night make a to do list and add "read X book" on that to do list and try to pick a time for that activity. You're much more likely to do it then.

Anyway, I'm the kind of guy that needs to make lots and lots of short term goals in order to stick to a routine, and those are the things that help me.

There are so many situations where being honest can undermine you. Yet lying always comes with the chance of being detected and also penalized. Therefore the most sagacious thing is to simply omit, to decline to mention. Leaving something unsaid has neither of the drawbacks of being honest or lying, but also gives you plausible deniability. You didn't mention it because it wasn't asked.

25th of October, my appointment with death.

Have you ever wondered what becomes of those who have no family or friends when they die? Most likely not.
I had never asked myself that question either, as I had never been confronted to this problem.
Society has a way of solving issues on its own, sweeping them under the massive rug on which we stand, unaware.
During a lonely evening, I was browsing the internet for volunteering missions, half drunk. I was looking for meaning, friends, or symply to help a fellow human being. Or so I was thinking.
I've always struggled with the idea of volunteer work. Do we not do it for ourselves first? For the benefit of knowing we are useful, knowing that we help, in essence ; knowing that we are good.

I rejected that idea, how vulgar would it be to help others in order for one to feel good about one's self. I despised the very idea of volunteering for that precise reason. Meanwhile, I wasn't helping anyone, though.
Isn't it wicked to question the motives of those who help, when you're doing nothing other than sitting in your comfortable office chair?
Damn you for torturing me so. I will volunteer and that's the end of it, I said to myself. Damn your childish dilemmas and you primitive philosophy.

As I scroll down, I stumble upon the mission of which I will speak now.
As it turns out, when people die alone, without anyone to grieve and pay for their funeral, the city has to pay for and organise the event.
Or so, at least, it is how it happens in my country.
We put the lonely corpse in a tomb for 5 years, way out, south of the city. What happens after those 5 years, I do not dare to know.
No one is present at the wake, no one, even to say goodbye.
The mission was about this very unfortunate state of affairs. As a volunteer, I would be present at the funeral, and I would say a few words to calm the grievance of a lonely soul.

I thought it was important, maybe a better use of my time would have been to help the living, yes. But the very idea of standing alone on the day of the great departure touched the bottom of my soul, the ultimate abandonment, the pinnacle of my fears.
Having no one to even see your body being engulfed by the earth. A few hours of one's time for the consecration of an entire life, even that is too much.

I speak of the dead, but as I write these words, they are very much alive, the funeral is a month from now.

I planned their funeral in my calendar, I ticked the square for that day that is probably not very special to them, themselves, they may have planned something, they may have ticked that very square on their calendar, all in vain. Provided they have one, of course.

They are still alive, somewhere, unsuspecting that I know the day on which they will be burried. Of course I don't know who they are. but the cold laws of statistics tell me that there will be four bodies to be buried on that day.

I will have to write for two of them, I try to imagine who they are, I imagine a male, homeless, right now he's probably begging. Today the weather is good, he's probably not too cold. I hope that he'll receive enough donations to buy tonight's meal, and maybe some alcohol. May that bring him a little warmth. I hope your death will be free of pain, I only wish you to depart as you sleep.

The second one, I imagine, is a little old lady, probably aware that she doesn't have many days left, maybe she even is waiting for death, that sweet release. she sits at home, watching TV, maybe reading a book. How bored she is, retirement must be the dreadiest of prisons when you're terribly alone.

Perhaps she used to have a husband, perhaps she misses him greatly. Soon, she'll join him.

Both of them are breathing, my two lonely souls, their blood flows freely in their veins, their eyes seek out the world in saccades, their legs carry them, still. They fear, they hope, perhaps, even, do they love and experience joy. Enjoy these last delicacies of life, enjoy the hardships, even, for they are counted and you'll come to miss them too.

I've planned their funeral, I made an appointment with death, and on the 29th of october, I will accompany them on their very last voyage.
One day, I, too, will forget them. But in the meantime, may my memory keep theirs alive for as long as it can.

we can agree the two come in tandem. I think some gay men would prefer a simple monogamous relationship, but... I don't know the number, but many of them can not stick to this kind of arrangement, and will pursue a number of sexual partners that heterosexuals could not begin to dream of. I truly believe there is a real and very large cultural difference between us.

I'm breaking up with my girlfriend tomorrow. I feel I can't talk to her about things she does that bother me, because whenever I do, she starts sobbing and has a panic attack. I don't want to make her cry. But I need to be able to communicate to her the things she does that upset me. Maybe that's my fault for not powering through her tears. Maybe not. All I know for certain is that in a relationship, one shouldn't feel as alone as I feel right now.

There's a cultural difference, but the reason is just because women gatekeep sex, and since gays have no women to be picky about partners, they will just fuck nonstop. This will be the case for all immature gay men and participation in this culture and lifestyle makes it much less likely they will ever mature out of it.

I was in a similar situation in my youth and did chicken out, and in the end I started cheating on her. I was angry at her, and later I've realized I was angry because we couldn't communicate. Cheating I thought I get one of two things: another woman, or a way out of this relationship when my gf finds out. Well she did find out. And the moment she did was the saddest thing I have ever seen, and to think that I did that to a woman for whom of course there was still some love in me... Later I developed severe mental illness and suffered immensely, and I genuinely believe that that was my payment for what I did to her, and that I desered it. It's better to do it the right way. Who knows, maybe tomorrow you talk and things turn out differently, but if you're gonna do it, it is better.

I can't help being disappointed if Trump does indeed usurp the Republic and become something of a dictator. I feel like I am being pulled into a catastrophic upheaval because of one man's greed and lust for power. At least Napoleon was competent. If Trump was a Napoleon I'd be ok with it. America needs a Napoleon to be frank; someone with singular vision and a strategic genius that cuts through all the indecisiveness and deadlock and does what has to be done. Instead we get this 5th rate, bargain-bin, off-label, discontinued Trump branded orange absurdity. A reality tv dictator that some people are dumb enough to defend because they are stupid enough relate to him.

I've come to realize that the only time grown ups can feel genuine emotion is when they remember what it felt like to experience the world as a child.
That is what any sense of happiness or fulfillment truly is.
Human beings have the same sort of imprinting phase as we observe in other animals and this instinctively drives all human interaction between adults and children in a repeating cycle.
The human mind is dominated by a constant seeking of regression this is the essence of all "becoming" there is little to no "growth" beyond the formative period.

Also my point was if America was going to have a dictator it better had be a good one. One with an outlier IQ like Napoleon. Not some conman sleaze ball. Would I prefer it didn't have a dictator and instead represented the cutting edge of Enlightenment ideas of governance and jurisprudence? Yes. But if it's so far gone that a dictator is an inevitability, make it a wise and far seeing Napoleon, whose ambition is forgivable, rather than a bumbling and objectively incompetent Trump. America's power deserves someone who has the dignity and wisdom to wield it, for the betterment of the nation and for the world.

You know how Trump tweets constantly? Imagine if he were a king, and he could literally set government policy with a tweet? A monarch could use social media to govern, to manage the provinces, to communicate with his subjects and the aristocracy. It would be great. Modern technology and society have made democracy less viable, but I think they've made monarchy MORE viable. A monarchy would thrive in the modern world.

I suspect it is not by groveling in what was difficult that we grow. we pray for forgiveness, trust that we have it, and exercise patience. I believe I've grown a lot in the last few years, and all of it simply for praying when I needed help, and then trusting that the help would come. thinking through things that went wrong, exploring darker parts of yourself... you can not expel darkness with darkness.

I say this because I've taken a dive down an alleyway so to speak, and just to see if I could handle myself. But your worth isn't proven by your ability to keep heart as the shadows creep in. Or if it is, it certainly isn't proving by you turning off the lights so there's something to be scared about. Growth, true human strength is in trust. Trust that you have a place, that you have worth. That you don't have to prove yourself. No I should back out of this alleyway. I'm only waiting for the shadows to have their last say before I let them go. After all, I did give them life. I should see who they are. Maybe it would be better to just leave.

I found a relationship through God out of a necessity. metaphorically speaking you could say I was in a shipwreck and saw no other way out. that's a common way I think. only years later did I have what I think were true spiritual experiences, but my trust in God was still real. Try praying if you haven't. Other than that just reading scripture. I'm not christian, but I respect christianity and as far as I gather the faith centers pretty heavily on what Jesus said and did, so searching there can't be all wrong.

well, what I mean is... the relationship with God is imo one thing. it is completely intuitive. it is like the heart coming to rest, but that isn't really matched with any "knowledge" or "insight" other than the belief that you can trust God. by spiritual experiences I mean experiences which I believe are of what is commonly termed "heaven", or "the other world". these can be dramatic, compared to the subtlety of trusting God, but in reality they are much less than that trust.

I'm literally retarded.
I don't understand anything of what other people say and I do stuff like i did it the first day even after months of doing it.
Today I almost got run over because I can't into streets.
My favorite book is the Count of Montecristo.

I hooked up with a girl a year or so ago, and we slept together on two occasions. After those couple dates, I realized I didn't want to be with her, nor, once it dawned upon me, was I comfortable with how quickly I'd gotten physical with a random woman I didn't even like. When I told her that I wasn't interested in her in moving forward, she barraged me with insults like fuckboi and what not, and, at the time, it blindsided me and filled me with shame and guilt. I thought it was my fault. Did I wrong the girl? We both had consensual sex, yes. I guess I would say that I had the "boyfriend"-sex with her. Passionate eyes, whispering into her ear, caringly playing with her hair, touching her skin. It was genuine. Did she think that because of this that I wanted to be in a relationship with her?

She wasn't some exemplar of moral virtue btw. She was the type of girl who called me in the middle of another tinder date. She openly told me she only made out on the first date with guys if she knew she wouldn't see them again.

When she was insulting me, I told her to stop and not speak so disrespectfully to me. I told her I did nothing wrong, but the sheer vitriol she spewed made me feel like I had done something wrong and that maybe there was something wrong with my character. I've never had this sort of encounter where a woman has so tried to assassinate my character.

love is trust beyond reason
feel it in my core
a rope from me to him
it's simple, and more.

I was head back
on the throne
felt it in my core
and the stream
from the hips, to his lips
I'm forever marked
a ship on an image board -
who thought,
i'd ever find land

truth is, I think I'm a man slut. Not because I have sex a lot, but because I've never declined nor not wanted sex when the opportunity has presented itself. almost every single instance I've had sex is simply because a woman has seemed to want to do it with me. they didn't even have to be smart or interesting or pretty. anything from a below-average, cute-in-the-right-light kind of girl who was willing was good enough for me.

and I think I enjoyed it honestly. I enjoyed sleeping with different women. I didn't sleep with one woman more than twice because, frankly, I didn't enjoy sex with people I don't emotionally connect with. But it was the game, the thrill, the pleasure of going on a date with someone and having a good conversation and feeling the buzz of the drinks and playing that push-and-pull and charming them and then the sheer surge of pleasure hormones when you actually head back to their bedroom and take their clothes off. unbeliavable. I didn't even get a full erection most times. I didn't even want them to touch me because I know they'd never make me cum. I just wanted to make them cum many many many times. and then I kiss them on the lips like a boyfriend would. and then I'd leave and never be interested in them ever again.

I had a similar situation anon, and I don't think your intentions were wrong, but her pain was nonetheless real. I've just ended a 3 month relationship with a woman who did the same, character assassinations galore, and now I think I'm done with sex and relationships until I've righted my own ship. And when I do get back into it, I won't be having sex until I know this woman is wife-worthy and also fits into my plans. I'm done breaking hearts, its really fucked up desu and I no longer have the ignorance to say "but I was being genuine." (which was also my defense in these situations)

Philosophy is almost completely useless and I wasted my time studying it. The only useful type of knowledge is technical knowledge or “know how”. The only thing studying philosophy teaches you to do is communicate with other useless college students or academics who spend their time on word puzzles and generate essays that nobody wants to read. I wish I had spent all that time learning how to draw or play an instrument or at least studying the natural sciences. Spending time learning skills and trying things is the only thing that matters.

I journaled about it and conversed with myself. It helps a lot. I don't think you were wrong if you were genuine, but be aware that having intimate sex and acting the way you described will make women fall for you, especially fuck girls, because they aren't used to be treated like that. What's done is done, all you can do is be more careful with peoples hearts going forward. Which we all should do, desu. Chasing after sex, even if you get laid a lot, is rooted in insecurity and generally hurts people. Intentionally looking for monogamy with someone who fits is the way to go

I generally like the women I'm fucking, at least. I just love women desu. If a woman is beautiful and has a sense of humor, what else is better? And to talk to hold her hand and stroke her arm, kiss her cheek as you talk to her? Intimacy feels amazing. I kind of love every woman I do this with in a childish way. I love experiencing them. I hate fucking like some animal pornstar too, it doesn't do it for me, it feels forced. Doesn't really answer your Q, I just love experiencing a woman in a slow sensual way. Probably because I'm generally very driven and focused in my day to day life, the moments I have to just 'be,' no pressure, with a woman are blissful

Your problem seems to be in your lack of discernment. You could probably be related to the stereotype of "the man who won't commit" which women complain about often. You want intimacy and connection but your pursuit of it is shallow and hedonistic. You might be scared of the limitation and difficulties that may come from devotion to one woman, or you may just not know how to find it. If you found a single woman who was worth committing to and take her as your wife, you could experience much deeper intimacy without the degradation of either of your souls.

My parents and sister always pull shit like that. If I think about it too much I really start to hate them, even tho generally they are ok to spend time with on a surface level, but when I look back at growing up with their attitudes, god no wonder I've underperformed in life. Just thinking about, it I never want to talk to or see them again, but then later they will be like "We're cooking dinner for the long weekend, why don't you stop by" and I'll be like oh why not it's a free home cooked meal. Then I will spend an afternoon absorbing subconscious negativity.

Honestly I just liked the attention, being desired by women and all that. And also proving to myself that I'm capable of being sexually desired by a woman.

Damn, the more I think about it, it wasn't about actually fucking them, it was about my faith in myself that I could fuck someone.

Anyway, when we're in bed, I just enjoy giving pleasure to them. I enjoy sharing love i had in my heart.

Fuck, I'm realising that most of the sex in my life was borne out of a desire to be desired and to have power. It wasn't even horniness.

people like this are sometimes more deliberately manipulative than they let on, but even if they arent, they are still being extremely manipulative in a way that will ultimately destroy their lives because they will end up surrounded by only the people who are themselves fucked up enough to accommodate it

a woman doesnt get to act like a petulant child her whole life just because she's a woman. you're doing her a favor by showing her that at least not every partner is going to "y-yes dear nevermind...." when she throws a fit.

unfortunately fixing their emotional and mental issues will probably be a long road, and thats even if they agreed they are issues and wanted to. what happens to women like this is it seeps into everything they do until every reaction to the world is conditioned by it. it's like being born wealthy and solving every problem by binge spending, it would eventually become the only coping mechanism you have and stopping it would be impossible past a certain point

i have dealt with women like this, they can get so bad sometimes that theyll just be telling you a fucking story about their work or whatever and if you go "hmmm" like you don't agree they will preemptively start acting like there is about to be a "problem" if you don't stop, they don't even know what you're going to fucking say yet and they're already saying "nigga i'll cry/scream/cold shoulder you for a week if you make me feel sadbadmad right now, tread carefully"

sounds like she lived a full life man, you should be proud

to me the miracle of life is too great to believe that it's all meaningless, that something beautiful and pure like your cat, and the companionship you had with her, could be just a brief interlude in an otherwise cold dead world

if it is just an interlude, it's at least a beautiful one, but i suspect that experiences like the ones you had with your cat are traces and hints of a greater good underlying it all. in which case wherever she is now, it's like waking up from a beautiful dream (her life with you), and not like going to sleep after being awake for a brief time... if that makes any sense

i think grief is just scrambled gratitude, it takes a while to be able to think of her and feel only happiness that whatever the universe is or isn't, your two lives intersected, and you were able to give her a happy one

I’m twenty-two and I growing more certain everyday that I have a chronic nerve condition. Multiple sclerosis or something of the sort.

For at least the last two years I have felt off in a very hard to describe way. Getting out of bed seems difficult and so does going on with the rest of my day. I lack vitality and my mind is permanently cloudy. My short-term memory, planning and creativity are not what I remember them to be. From having just finished three years of university, I was able to observe a huge pool of equally aged peers and their associated lives. There appears to be an inherent quality they possess that is not present within me. This energy, that leads them to pursue relationships and ambitions, or to renounce such things and simply mess around. Whereas I am simply static. My sense of taste, of smell and of touch are all diminished. I don’t feel that there is anything between my legs and I don’t get aroused. It’s been years since I last remember waking up with an erection. But this apparent eunuch state is not compensated with any sense of enlightenment. My mind simply hums like a washing machine and nothing is able to grip me with passion. Attempting to read leads to me eternally looping over the same paragraph. I burn out similarly when trying to enjoy similar sedentary activities that I remember enjoying before, such as looking at films, photography or art. Going for a jog makes me hot and nauseous.

I am supposed to be in my prime but I don’t seem to be able to reap any its associated benefits. As I watch my peers sail away from me to colourful horizons, I feel nothing but helpless. Though I can no longer be moved to strong emotions, neither positive nor negative ones. I now live from doctors appointment to doctors appointment, spaced about fortnightly, and where the gaps are filled with my decrepit NEET mode of being. I am lucky to be spoiled by my parents in that sense. Since it’s hard for something like this to be diagnosed, I have to go through an exclusionary method and I’m ironically disappointed when I’m told things like my blood test being perfectly fine. Getting an MRI will be the definite way to know. Weirdly, I am looking forward to this day because it will give me certainty.

As I lay awake at night at impossible hours, unable for my body to fall asleep, I feel what can only be described as very low voltage shocks at my extremities. I get warm, prickly, itchy feelings crawling along on my dry skin. I find myself in a state of unintellectual existentialism, caused primarily biologically. Now I reexamine my entire formed personality and realise that many of my beliefs and attitudes come from a place of discomfort. When brushing my teeth at 5 A.M., I part my thinning hair and look at my unshaven face. I can sometimes recognize that of my grandfathers with his distinct moustache.
