I'm coming to a point in my life where I will need to call upon my writing to deliver the future. I have not written anything significant in at least 5 years, indeed I have hardly posted on 4chan since the most recent captcha changes. Today I did a 10 minute free write and I am shocked with how positive the experience was. I feel it is too self-indulgent to post in its entirety but I had to share this sensation.

>>23515525
Life is such a juxtaposition of ironies. All my life I suppressed my sexual urges in an effort for purity and religion to the point of permanently isolating myself from women. And every moment I failed I self chastised for falling to the vices.

And when I finally grew out of that mindset and decided to let nature take its course with me, God decided to kill all my libido. Funny ain't it
>>
>>23515625
That's not irony. You're just dumb. Many religious chaste men have found wives. Chaste doesn't mean isolate from them.

Finding women is not my problem. And those chaste men you speak of certainly see fleshly needs as vices and they certainly aren't socially engaging with women at a large degree. Denial of desire certainly leads to the denial of source of desire.

The issue is I grew out of this bs. But now it means nothing. I used to pray to not be burdened by my desires and it is the one prayer that got answered.

you just stop and really appreciate the sheer sensations of the senses fully? like how soft things are, or the hardness of some things, or of quietness and loudness. the many different colours perceptible to the mind, a living thing, from the weight of lifeless physicality. life is such a gift, it is truly a miracle to be animated matter

so much so that sometimes i can feel the very essence of things "breathe" in their own way, the utter oneness of a connected reality shared by everyone simultaneously even as it is read in text. it's incredible, all of it, and it's so beautiful you gotta just sit back and soak in pure sensation
>>
>>23515791
>life is such a gift
its a pure suffering
>>
>>23515796
it is suffering only because you perceive suffering, because you are attached to things that don't really matter, burdened by weights fabricated by imaginary scenarios and fears. people live in a perceived reality and not reality-as-truly-is, which is sheer bliss, as such things were made perfect by the creator's will, a greater being

it is like the story of the man who kept worrying about tomorrow that he forgot to live in that day, until he was told he had no tomorrow left. it is important to think ahead to be sure, but i would argue as well, to at times pause, breathe, appreciate and give thanks not just as lip service, but as a momentary reflection of expressing one's own conscious being-in-action. i think i will go outside and just dance in the sunlight while getting lost in the park examining patterns of tree formation, i hope you can find the courage to do the same sometime anon

I've been writing poetry more since I haven't been able to find the will to draw or paint or write stories. It's actually the one art form where I don't actually care if it's good or bad, but I do want to make more art in general.

I hate to admit I find a lot of literary fiction and so-called classics boring, and a large majority of them don't really get interesting until halfway through, which on average for most of these books are like three hundred pages deep.

What are some examples of good prose according to you guys? Writers and/or passages welcome.

Thomas Montgomery, a 47-year-old married man, was convicted in 2007 of murdering a workmate in a case called the "Internet Chatroom Murder". He posed as "Tommy", a 21-year-old marine, and began an online relationship with a 17-year-old called Jessi. A workmate of his, 22-year-old Brian Barrett, subsequently began an online relationship with the same girl after Montgomery's deception was revealed, and Montgomery shot him in their work car park. "Jessi" was actually a middle-aged woman who had been using pictures of her daughter.

IM FAILING COLLEGE EVERY ASSIGNMENT THUS FAR IVE REQUESTED AN EXTENSION ON AND HADNT DONE ANYTHING WITH IT THIS IS MY SECOND TIME TAKING THE COURSE CUZ I ALREADY FAILED IT THE FIRST TIME I DONT WANT TO DO IT I DONT I DONT I DONT I DONT

>>23516460
This is the first onf my freewriting exercises. In so In a way I have already failed according to the doctirne of Elbow. I have made some edits so far although they of course do not appear on the page because they have been striekn from the record. I think the editing while type ing has become more had become more of a habit after programming because the preciosion of the language the syntax and the spelling is really the essnce of what you rae doing. An while programming there is in some ways only a finite number of things you will write, because they have to fir within the rules of the language, so the mind is sveral steps ahead of the fingers. ANd the output of typing is really just an afterthough ot a necessity. Im sure there would be and I failed again I paused to take a sip of coffee. And im sure there would be computer scientists who would disagree fundamentally with the way I presented it, but I stand by that view even as someone who prefered the theroretical or philosophical angle to computer science. It is possible that I may have cheated at this exercise in another way, I have been planning to do it at least for a few hours today and have thought of some things to discuss. Of course my fear with that is running out of ideas, and maybe I would have nothing to say tomorrow or the next tiome I sit down to write. I must pause hjere and say that there have been many many and too many more times to count wherein if that is the appropriate word, I have had the idea to write again and planned and read on /lit/ and so on how I would begin and really I never begun...
>>
>>23516460
>>23516491
...Another sip of coffee sorry Peter. I thinkt he furhters back of such times and to interject I think my spelling has gotten worse while typing and I may have to discuss that in thre future. But the furthest back of such times may have bene in the Sporing of 2014 after dropping out of the first college, after having some time for self-pity though not too much I have never given myself too much time at once for that. But after that period sometime as the world began to warm I was reestablishing routines, finding success academically against my better efforst and getting some good work done at the climbing gym, I recall feeling this urge to compile a list of all these people I had let down and write them individual apologies. I am not sure if I really did intend to send out these documents or if it was just an exercise in moving on. From that you can see that the significant people in the previous 18 years of my life outside of my family really did have a great impact on me and I valued our relationship. It may also be that I did not feel ready to move on from what had been. That maybe did take a while. Indeed it maybe took a few more years before I really did find myself and by that I mean discover some consistent thread that can be followed to me at this poiint ion time. That spring of 2014 though there did begin to apear fragments that stayed with me. The time is up this was extremely enjoyable I think I have to date and save this if only to motivate me to do it again.

Escalation of stimulation is required to reach the same level of arousal due to adaptation. It happens much more quickly on an individual scale but the porn industry and society at large undergo the same process.
Look forward to ever more extreme content becoming normalized over the next decade or two. I would unironically expect a real push for a decriminalization of pedophilia if the whole MAP thing takes off.

No, all fake nonsense. Religion, occult supernatural etc are like some kind of mental virus. They are fantasy stories, clearly fake and not real yet even when our concious mind knows it, whenever we hear, see or read about supernatural it leaves some sort of mental imprint just like some annoying catchy song that you can't get it out of your mind. Shitty television, books, songs, entertainment and just shitty culture and retarded people that mention g-d or some other fantasy nonsense every two seconds make this mental virus spread so fast that it's almost impossible to stop.
>>
>>23516141
Yes. I've encountered that stuff personally.
It's not really worth spending time on. What the occult offers is a set of deeply unintuitive methods of manipulating one's personal/phenomenal horizon in exchange for a willful choice of evil with full knowledge of the act. The deal only sounds good if you don't fully understand what it entails. There are other methods to reach the same things but they are also not really worth it. The counterparts to this stuff are the miraculous things which happen to very holy people, but they too encourage one not to dwell on them or pursue them as an end in themselves.
At the end of the day it's not something to really focus on, since the great drama revolves around the choices you make and not what kind of wacky stuff you did or saw during your life.

I don’t know why I can’t just let go and enjoy life for once. I thought I’d cured myself of all the depression and other nonsense, I got my motivation back, I got a spot in one of the top business schools on the planet and my life is sorted for the next decade at least. I just have to kick back and relax but I can’t.
I see people all around me enjoying, partying, smoking, drinking etc and I just don’t want to do anything like that because I know it’s pointless. I don’t want to “network” with people because I find literally everything about everyone here repulsive. I find the whole thing absurd and pointless and just can’t wait for the whole thing to end already.
This is when I have been in complete isolation for the last 5 years. This was supposed to be my last chance at having a normal life.

Every choice I’ve ever made was the “right” one and its left me restless and anxious.

I studied hard at school. I got good grades and majored in something “useful.” I got a good job and then I got a scholarship to do a master’s degree, and then I got a better job. I spent five years of my life reading economic theory, financial analysis and business case after business case pretending I was the CEO of the biggest widget company in North America for the honour and prestige of becoming a power point monkey. Sure, I get to talk to VP’s and present “strategies” on how to sell more wood floors in Western Europe and update my LinkedIn profile. The only problem is I couldn’t care less about wood floors.

If I keep it up, I’ll become a manager.

I fell in love with literature, poetry, and the humanities. Every time I read a classic, I feel like I gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. It’s made me more idealistic and believe that the things that really matter in life aren’t material. And for what? To swipe a bit on Tinder and jerk off before bed?

I go to the gym and stay in shape. I eat well. I have lots of energy, I’m restless all the time. I can’t ever relax.

As I inch closer to 30, all I can do is think to myself is, “what was the point?”

I’ve turned myself into an idealistic, over educated, yuppy. I’ve given up my twenties and have nothing to show for it. I don’t own a home and the prices of everything keep rising, and I could be laid off if a project falls through and be back to square one. I have all this energy, all this education, all this passion, and instead of building something, creating something meaningful, making a mark in the world, I’ve become paralyzed. Every night I get restless and anxious and I read about men who’ve done something with their life and I look at my own life and realize I have no direction. I’ve read so many historical accounts of men that have changed the world. They were moving toward something at my age. No one even responds to my emails. I have nothing.

Marxism is a theory of historio-economic development. It's not really an ideology to believe or disbelieve in. At most it's a set or predictions based on an jnternal logic one can either accept or reject. I accept it. It makes sense. Would you like to explain why belief in it seems nonsensical to you? That's worth more than pejoratives, although, pejoratives are certainly easier.
If you can provide a compelling counter argument, I am all ears and will accept it.

It is way too much effort to find a woman, why would I do that if I could just jerk off? Now don't get me wrong, would I say no to a hot woman if she offered to suck me good or let me fuck her? Probably not, but it would have to be a really hot woman, average women have no effect on me. I would also never date a woman unless I could know with complete certainty that she wouldn't get fat or smell weird once she got older, those are two major turn-offs.

anyone else have an entirely different fund of memory to access when they're smoking? my style is different, the voice isn't the same, is it that it is an unearned state of meditation provided only under rigorous exercise (the classic runner's high)?
I recall being able to moonshot great cognitive calculations, threading the metabolic needle and transforming my perception of time by turns so that i could be sure i was operating with pristine motivations, but to be able to have a sort of trace-along overlay over every action, it feels it leaves a residue over the emission, motivating myself has been a problem, and it's clear my voice is somehow needed in this world, there are those who have come to me, and have lost hope, i can let myself down but letting others down has been the only thing that really leads me to regret. i know i am going to fail eventually, but there is some time i could operate, and marijuana gives a vague, transient path towards that, but i know it's not lasting, it's an uneasy armistice. for whose sake!?
>>
>>23517950
I was. And to this day I am an atheist; there are (probably, you can never be sure) no gods or God.
And while I believe myself correct, I do not that that my position should be enforced as dogma. But I believe it should be tacitly accepted as true for the better functioning of state and to keep moralists in check.

It's because weed can help with forgetting. It causes you to drop habits and to have to recognise facts and patterns anew, which is also why you can ask "for whose sake" at the end of a paragraph where you said it was for everyone else in the world. Swings and roundabouts.

all you've done is reframe and say I'm the one in a fantasy when your worldview can't account for basic things observed by philosophers for nearly 2000 years. nothing will convince you until you see the errors in empiricism and materialism in general. until then you will be a tool for the forces at work whether you know it or not.

yeah. was spiritually conflicted from a young age, began gravitating towards Christianity around 21 or 22 maybe, just got confirmed into the Catholic Church recently. mom said something to the effect that they hadn't exposed me to much religious stuff because they wanted me to find my own answers and she was happy I did. I think atheism is bad for obvious reasons and less respectable than just practicing a different religion from mine but it depends on your reasons. people who simply haven't given it much thought or people who are embittered by bad childhood experiences can't really be blamed. people who just hate religion in spite of never being personally hurt by it are fucking weird.

I will just never understand modern Christians. So you think the Christian God is the truth of the universe but it's absolutely fine if someone worships some other God, as long as they worship *something*? You don't care that they contradict your descriptive account of the universe and also would call you a poly-theist and think you will go to hell?
Despite God being the truth of the universe, it's fine to hate him if your feelings got hurt in childhood, but if you arrive at an atheist position through some other means, like thinking about it, that's bad?

For the past week or so all of my dreams have pertained to stressing over the finals of last week and just recently school in general. I did pretty good on the finals, yet I'm haunted by them. In all of these dreams, people treat me like shit. For example, I was yelled at by a professor for not being having some key card that everyone else has, then I was told that I had to work at some gas station for a bit if I wanted to complete some paperwork to get it.
I can go on and on with other dreams, but you get the picture. So what's up with this?

I would probably split this up into more paragraphs.
I also found it difficult to grasp what the author was trying to get at besides "ideology is bad". Beyond that it seems to bounce around between a variety of reasons like a lack of foundation, susceptibility to outside control, and being generally authoritarian without going into much depth on any of those aspects.

I have had many similar experiences. Women are all totally nuts. I don't know if it's the era we live in or what. I've also heard from many women that men are all nuts these days too. I have a bad tendency to say I regret having sex after having sex and apologize to the woman and try to tell her to become a nun or something, and my most recent hookup told me her ex-boyfriend and two hookups also did this. I've also heard stories like the first guy they've actually really liked and wanted to date, a sweet guy and the first one who seems normal, suddenly turning on hardcore porn on his laptop and tilting it toward the girl without explanation. Or suddenly saying horrendous shit out of nowhere, like joking about raping her in front of his friends while introducing her to them for the first time.

I feel bad for women. You just have to wait until a guy comes along who has this magic je ne sais quoi quality, which you can't predict or force, so you're at the mercy of luck and fate. And then at any time he can start watching porn on his phone in the restaurant and you have to start all over, including the waiting process for another je ne sais quoi guy to be dropped into your lap.

Not really a hypocrite in that I don't cling to the lie or inconsistency. The whole point of the apology is that you're apologizing for lying to her and to yourself up until that moment. On some level you know that nobody should go that far with a woman unless he actually likes her, but we all know that we find 98% of women boring and retarded. In that moment, all of the reality of the situation comes rushing in on you, and you see her as a victim and as deceived for the first time instead of seeing her as the opponent in some kind of zero-sum game.

I only stopped doing it once I reflected that it only makes the woman feel worse. They'd prefer to be lied to. In a way they're exploiting you too, so you might as well just lie there and stare at their ironic wall art and reflect silently on how disgusting the whole "process" is.

you misunderstand.

im pretty sure dota ruined my chances of getting a phd. undergrad was dark times and if anything, dota helped trap me in this hole. it literally was the modern day cocaine for me. of course, the fault ultimately lies with me but oh boy did i abuse the shit out of playing dota. depressed? dota. failed a test? dota. panicking before a test? dota. and then there was the pursing of higher and higher mmr. the grind of getting better, reacting faster, thinking smarter, all for the sake of dota. what are the meta heroes? what builds are pros using? how should i farmed, maybe i should check up rtz/ee's stream to see. when do i rotate? how do i split push? all of this so i can become the better player. but fast forward a few years later, all i have is dota. i am a better dota player yes, i probably can have some real life transferable skills, like efficiency and what not. but at the end of the day, i no longer have the credentials to succeed in life. i am a better dota player, but not a better person. i don't have the grades, i don't have the network to succeed. i am swamped in debt, which a part time job probably couldve helped throughout undergrad. this sucks. life now sucks.

My man! I work in a grocery store. Meat department and stocking shelves. Most of my working hours are spent alone with my thoughts and some task that I've done a million times before so that it's become second nature. Lots of time to think. Lots of time to feel. I like to squeeze the marshmallows softly. Or the bags of brown sugar. I feel my feet on the ground. I focus on the subtle irriedescence of the plastic wrap enveloping the meat. It shimmers like an oil spill in a parking lot. I contemplate the morality of preparing sliced animal bits and serving them to the white man in these petroleum-based containers. I'm in the break room now and time's up just as I'm writing these words. Back to work. Take care all!

There is no such thing as a homeless person. They are career vagrants. Any normal person has all the help they need by the modern first world state to get off the street, even in dying America. Anyone who stays on the street is choosing to stay: drug addicts trying to avoid the mandatory drug testing that comes with their free tax-funded housing (which costs 100x more than it should because it constantly has to be de-loused and cleaned and repaired because, of course, the vagrants trash it regularly), schizos who were turned out of institutions and now prefer to harass people in front of Walmart 24/7 (and use drugs) while being tolerated by the state.

This is what Sam Francis called "anarcho-tyranny." You allow scum like this to accumulate at the bottom of society to terrorize and demoralize the middle class, while crushing the middle class from above with bureaucracy and over-management of basic life, with the very same state that paradoxically just can't seem to do anything about the schizo jerking off outside Walmart.

This is one of the main reasons the NSDAP regime came to power by the way, and one of the first things it did was round all these people up and put them in relatively cushy detainment camps where, no, they were not executed in cartoonish fashion, simply detained so nobody had to deal with schizo rapists anymore. Quality of life massively shot up instantly.

>How was RCIA?
I went to RCIA in two different parishes on account of a move. the first time I went didn't go great, the guy running it wasn't the guy for the job. he got angry and defensive about pretty much every question I asked him even though I was really trying to be polite about it. the second time was much better, there were 2 or 3 priests at every meeting who were very patient and prepared for everyone's questions.
>Was there anything that you found difficult to accept about Catholicism or Catholic doctrine?
initially, yes. I was wary of the veneration of Saints mostly. I had a minor hangup about what happens to the soul immediately after death. and i felt and still feel that Luther got a raw deal, but I bounced my thoughts on that off of one of the priests and he basically agreed with me. every issue I had was explained to my satisfaction.
>What do you think about Pope Francis?
I dislike some of his rhetoric, but as far as I can tell he hasn't actually changed much about Church practices. there's never going to be a perfect Pope that everyone likes anyway. he seems very earnest and passionate at least,.
>>
>>23518848
Cradle catholic here, the rhetoric around Francis strikes me as weird because he's not particularly liberal. Ratzinger did some shit where I was like, I think the Holy Spirit took this seriously because the man from the inquisition just said some radically merciful shit. I think a lot of it comes from people who aren't familiar with Church practices and doctrine. Francis being called a wild card is kind of funny if you've met any other Jesuit.

I'm 23. I think it's obvious from my post that I have not had sex.
>>
I'm 26 years old and I have never seen a vagina in real life, nor have a ever kissed a girl or had any romantic relationship
I'm sad to be honest

Your post started with “I’m not celibate per se”, I had assumed that you weren’t a virgin and were just abstaining until marriage. I think many people think about sex too much, or lack of sex.

Honestly I'd sympathize more with the homeless if they could be hunted for sport. Their eternal struggle should be one of knowing I might be a truly *twisted street nigga* on the prowl.

As it is, I just can't be asked to deal with them. I'm resigned to inventing slurs for them in my mind. They suck so bad, HELP!

Hi /lit/, long time no see. After using this as my main board for years, I'm now more of /g/entooman than a /lit/izen. I'm now married and close to beginning my PhD. It will be fun. I started a blog and am reading some technical stuff now. I'm still doing my Latin, but not as frequently as I'd hoped. It's been some time since I last read a romance.

One year+ nofap checking in. Wet dreams are...... an experience.

I had a dream that I met a 14 year old cousin of mine (not a 1st cousin or a real person) at some family gathering and she instantly fell in love with me based on my demeanor or some subtle things I said. I’m pretty sure that the reason she was underage was that this was based on the weird chaste yet passionate love described in some victorian era novels I had read. And of course that also explains why she was my cousin. There was no sexual desire and I had to assume sort of a teaching/fatherly role yet it was like there was a secret understanding between us that we would have to get married. This was a weirdly powerful dream that for some reason has restored my hopes of finding companionship in real life

I bought this girl I like a Ducati because she told me she likes them. Going to give it to her tomorrow.

Just coom without the porn.
90% of the negative feelings are from staring at stupid vulgar imagery with your dick in your hand, not from blowing a load.
And semen retention is a meme beyond a certain point. In my mid 20s there was an entire year where I didn't beat off at all and it didn't make me a better person in any capacity and I ruined several pairs of underwear because lewd dreams would sometimes get me before I could wake up and muscle my urethra shut.

A man in rags is pulling his stolen wagon through a snow storm. It is nighttime with a white glow. The heavy flakes are falling steadily at half-speed, covering the creek trail up to the man’s shins, as he trudges towards the clinic.
The man’s brindle best friend is bedridden behind him; a bullmastiff, breathing shallowly, blinking off tempo—different somehow. The man can sense the tidal recession of Argos’s spirit; he can feel it pulling him out into open water; can see the shrinking horizon.
It must be three miles to the clinic. The man and Argos had lived along the creek for a decade. Homeless in Boulder, never in one spot long, but always in a spot a short way from the library. Ten beautiful, easy Summers, sitting in the shade next to the creek. Watching the water flow all day long; reading supine, with his head resting and rising and falling on Argos’s powerful chest.
The wagon is awkward in the snow, and he changes his grip on the handle often, sometimes needing to face Argos and pull; the dog’s eyes are unfocused, not seeing. The man turns forward, not wanting to watch Argos fade, and focuses on the mechanical task, overcoming the friction and resistance—working, displacing.
Every bend in the trail triggers reveries. Memories more in space than time. Ten years of blurred seasons, watching people flow along the path, how they change with the weather. Walking every day with Argos, leisurely, up and down the slight sloping miles along the creek. The recent months spent pulling Argos in the wagon. Heavy at first; lighter each week; his light faded each week. Memories flash and blur in the man’s mind. Discontinuous memories, instantaneous images he can almost hold as negatives before the next flash.
The man stops under a bridge and checks on Argos. His eyes are still open—wide open, and staring over the man’s shoulder. Argos starts to growl. The man turns and sees a scholastic panther muralised behind him, lunging, furious, ready to kill.

i honestly don't think its all the jews fault but it's gotten so bad that i'll take blaming the jews if it can focus a movement around a common enemy and bring about real change

You are just depressed or are on anti-depression. No such thing as a man losing his libido

My biological urges to have kids get stronger every year, but I'm just getting older all alone.

anyone else excited to see what the post trump world looks like? i dont say that as a trump hater or biden defender. But out of curiosity.

Pol are trump fans, and in 2024 they are barely still fans of zion don. with trump out of the picture im picturing a flourishing of political ideologies on pol, but i think ultimately they will revert back to the 2000s b tard standard of libertarianism and v for vendetta tier cyber anarchism.

Neocons will most likely retake the face of the gop post trump, so poltards will either give up on politics, explore other ideologies, or become even more extreme

One of the great things about aging is the immense financial power you gain relative to much younger women. It is so intensely pleasurable to destroy these girls’ self-image of virtue and modesty and see them become impudent whores for you. The chef’s kiss is when you feel their tongues in your anus. That’s the moment they abandon the last remaining bit of innocence and they choose the easy and more rewarding path of being a whore forever.

We are still supporters of Trump. He's going to win in 2024

No we support Peter Sonski for 2024.

I don't really think much about it because the position of believing a god exists is just too foreign to me. Sometimes I wish I could be naive enough to believe in a religion because its a more comforting thought that there is an afterlife but Im just too critical/analytical thinking to fall for that shit
>>
>>23520797
yeah i know, you are morons with endless contradictions, hate jews, ignore trump sucking jew dick, hate immigration, ignore trump saying he wants to get green cards to indians, etc.

trump just doesnt have that 2016 magick anymore, if you still care about trump or biden in 2024 you got brain problems.

i just want to see the fall out from when he is no longer there

every flatchested woman (female) ive ever really known has either been super trad christian or mega whore, never just a normal woman with normal relationships. i don't want to say its because of them over compensating for their lack of breasts and subsequent perceived lack of attraction from males

can't say the same for small dick guys (male) since most of us just take what we can get

I was thinking today about how everyone has become obsessed with 'the rules', but only 'the rules' as a set of social behaviors to be followed or ignored. Everyone wants to conform to these rules or disobey them verbally, not though action. Online, in tweets only. Everyone is very passionate about defending or tearing down 'the rules' but put them in a room with other people and suddenly these supposedly strong, principled stances never seem to manifest in any real action or interaction.

Why are people like this?

>>23520974
Atheists have no principles.
