Wow OP, that hit me right in the feels.

I'm 20 years old and I have competed at an international level at athletics. I justified reading for the past few months due to an injury.

But thats healed so Im going back to training.

Thanks OP.

Why is reading more a waste than anything else?

>> No.3412014

>>3411997

because other things are FUN and reading is NOT. no one actually enjoys reading, not even huge nerds. they just do it to look smart, because that's the only thing they have going for them

You guys really can't understand even the most basic of jokes, can you

>> No.3412063

Worst joke ever. Not even uncomfortably painful so that you can laugh at it later.

>> No.3412067

To be a joke, I think it has to be funny.

Well I liked it, and that's why I posted it

Not necessarily. How else could there be so many unfunny jokes?

Yeah, I can't wait to grow older so all this implications and expectation (of other ppl towards me) go away and I can live alone and in peace.

Yeah 25 here; I guess I'm starting to know what you mean, but I guess I cant say so yet. I've been neeting so far, but I'm already fine living it by myself, so I'll get a job to pay roof and food and finally start living, or at least that is "the plan" (even if plans no longer have a meaningful place).

That better?

Then it's a joke, because I thought it was funny. Otherwise, I wouldn't have posted it.

Didn't even consider that to be honest. Absolutely not in that case, with children you are probably doomed to a burdened and stressful life until death or at least well into old age. Probably the worst thing anyone can do for their happiness.

I read mainly for the ideas - to open my mind so to speak, and partly for enjoyment.

But people should do whatever they genuinely enjoy doing (isn't that common knowledge?), and more importantly, people like you should quit trying to push some 'normative' lifestyle onto them

SOLID ADVICE: DON'T DO THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING.

But yeah, it expands your thinking and also with luck can get you laid. You just gotta find the right folks, man. I don't consider it time wasted if it does those things.

Go away /fit/, you're not wanted here.
