What do you regret, /lit/? Did it make you a sad introvert, like you are now? Did you read a book to relate to those feelings?

I regret being such an angsty shit in school, which caused widespread general mediocrity in everything I tried, from girls to education and has had such a legacy that it still fucks me over five years down the line.

By 'school', do you mean all through college, too?

No, I went to a mediocre British university where I somehow picked up the knack of writing and have gotten wall to wall good grades ever since.

I regret not giving that girl a better chance because I was too tied to my ex still (obviously so). She was nice, we stayed up late together a few times, sent each other poetry we thought the other would enjoy. I still keeps little momento she gave me from that time.

I've seen her since, but we didn't really talk. I think I had driven her too much away by my badly hidden ruminating on my ex. Wish things had gone differently. I still think about her surprisingly often given how short our fling was.

My little fling with her rekindled my love of literature, philosophy, and poetry. I even wrote a few things about her. Glad I didn't give them to her though. Wasuch too manic then...

You seem to be a man of dual nature my friend. See if you can turn that into something good. It certainly should give you an outside-the-box perspective.

>lying awake having epistemological crisis

I can't imagine how Descartes must have gone through day to day if he ever doubted the while benevolent God thing.
