How do you get over the fact that you can only read so many books in your lifetime? How do you embrace mortality?

No one will ever read my diary. My diary is unique and no matter how many books you read it will never be part of it. People obsessed with reading everything are doomed to fail because my diary is secret. It is also the most interesting and beautiful book ever written, but only ME will read it. That's how I cope and how you seethe.

shut up faggot. the funny thing is, if i truly wanted to, i could choke out your scrawny little ass in about 30 seconds. your face would turn blue as you'd claw at me like a panicking cat, choking out begs and pleads for me to loosen my grip, just a bit, so you may enjoy a few more breaths before finally going under. fuck you. dont reply to me again. i'm more well read, fit, and attractive than you will be in a thousand lifetimes. go back to your military history, you fucking virgin loser.

By filtering the trash
The point where you start being an adult, is when you realize that some things matter to you, and all of those things you played as a kid, and all of your stories, and games, and books, and fantasies, were just a way to pass the time.
You are not there yet. So have fun. There is no achievement to anything you are doing.

I practice meditation, e.g I practice not being a ruminating idiot.

One of the biggest sources of psychological problems is hyperfocusing on your own issues, this is incidentally why women are more mentally ill than men, because they sit in circles and whine to each other about personal problems that can't be solved.

>The primary indication, to my thinking, of a well-ordered mind is a man’s ability to remain in one place and linger in his own company. Be careful, however, lest this reading of many authors and books of every sort may tend to make you discursive and unsteady. You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind. Everywhere means nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends. And the same thing must hold true of men who seek intimate acquaintance with no single author, but visit them all in a hasty and hurried manner. Food does no good and is not assimilated into the body if it leaves the stomach as soon as it is eaten; nothing hinders a cure so much as frequent change of medicine; no wound will heal when one salve is tried after another; a plant which is often moved can never grow strong. There is nothing so efficacious that it can be helpful while it is being shifted about. And in reading of many books is distraction.
[…]

>Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day. This is my own custom; from the many things which I have read, I claim some one part for myself.

Don't.
Become a pedo billionaire pimp and create a think tank out of the foremost intellectuals a d scientists that you've blackmailed in order to find a way to preserve your brain and penis past your death so that they can be grafted on a robotic frame.
Then you'll be able to read for as long as you wish.

Start with the Greeks. Accept that all of life is but a preparation for death. The soul itself is immortal.
