We are designed to find fulfillment - true happiness. Through finding your passion you find God. The purpose of society is to distract you from that purpose. Society is inherently evil and has lead to the damnation of countless souls. Save yourselves. Find God within yourself and abandon your materialistic desires.

You can be as annoyed as you want, that's fine. Raping and murdering, or murdering and raping, or just murder, or just rape, is still bad and illegal, and you still shouldn't do it.

I don't mind Ukrainian refugees. They actually learn the language and work. Doubt the majority of them will leave once the war is over, though, Ukraine already wasn't a great place to live, and the war hasn't exactly made it any nicer.

I have a strong urge to write yet don't believe what I have to say is worthy of anyone's attention. Stories I have in mind that I need to tell but not the confidence to actually tell them. Why do I feel my ideas so important enough to share them? For all I know, they may have already been told before and told much better. Despite these reservations, the urge persists. If nothing else I'll write and leave them unpublished, forgotten on my hard drive. Writing just for myself and to get some relief from this built up energy inside me

I'm trying to quit porn and erotica online. The trouble is that browsing them has become part of my routine while I'm on the internet, and as I search around for other things to fill the time they take up, I'm struck by how much less there is to DO online than there used to be. Other than 4chan I really only spend time on three or four other websites. Back in the day there were dozens, hundreds, of message boards, communities, IRC chats, and fun hobby websites that I might have started visiting to fill the empty space where erotica content would be. But now it just feels like there's a lot less of that.
>>
>>25503208
Time to get hooked on reddit. That's my casual browsing place because there's subreddits for all kinds of topics. Don't worry, I only actually post on 4chan.

>>25503185

>Could somebody just tell me what Proust is about for fucking once

I googled that for anon, here:

Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (also known as Remembrance of Things Past) is fundamentally about how memory, art, and time shape the human experience.

It is not a plot-driven adventure. Instead, it is a 3,200-page psychological journey that explores how we experience the world, why our memories deceive us, and how we can achieve a form of immortality through art.

I'm trying to do it where I take my medicine in a split dose every 12 hours or so. Yet I'm only at the 7 hour mark and my brain is inundating me with signals to take more now. I'm so stuck. At least it feels incredibly good, but like I've said before, I'm getting tired of that. I want to have a clear mind, I want to be productive, I want my sex drive and motivation back. I've already spent too much of my life laying in bed, wrapped in the warmth of euphoric, orgasmic pleasure.

There must be a way out, or at least a way to find an acceptable middleground. Ideally, I'd like to have it where I can take only a little bit in the mornings when I wake up, so it has its medicinal, therapeutic effects while leaving me with a pellucid mind and optimal mental functionality, and then I can take more in the evening as a kind of reward. It'd be no different than having a drink after work.

But as I've said, my brain wants it all, immediately. It wants to feel that reward when I wake up, when it's morning, when it's noon, in the afternoon, evening, and right before bed. It's not as simple as willpower. When the cravings hit, I literally cannot focus on anything else. Time slows to a crawl. For example, five hours till the twelve hour mark when I can take more? Every minute until then will feel like an eternity. I will end up looking at the clock probably every three minutes or so. And every moment during, my mind will do its best to rationalize taking it early. "Ah, but you see, you're only awake for 16 hours a day, so really, the 8 hour mark is the halfway point!" That one has proven really effective. On the days I somehow manage to make it further? "Yeah, it's only the 10-hour mark, but you see, it takes 90 minutes to kick in anyhow, so you essentially made it to the 12-hour mark all the same." Another very effective ruse.

Sigh. On my tombstone, it'll read,
>Accomplished nothing except managed to be high and euphoric 24/7 until his death.

No. I have not given up.

Mother did not kiss me goodnight this time. Life is suffering. I laid in bed for hours while I listened to the masked sounds of lively conversation and uproarious laughter of her dinner party, imagining what delightful, amusing, and scandalous stories and remarks they must be sharing, and counting down the minutes until its conclusion, so that I might hear my mother's steps up the stairs and toward my bedroom door. It was not to be. Minutes after the front door closed once the last guests left and the clattering of dishes picked up and deposited in the sick, I was surprised by the sudden slamming shut of the door of my parents' bedroom, no doubt the clumsy swing of intoxicated limbs. I am sick. My heart is in pain. Why has my mother forsaken me? I will not sleep tonight.

My fucking boy. I've been slowly acquiring a few over the years. Coffee table books. You're right, snoot a couple, invite a couple of art hoes over, bust out a malbec from argentina, and start looking through the art book while discussing "process" and reading exerpts. I'm looking for one on mushrooms or maybe lamps. We'll see.

Anyways, I'm really into his like... floral fusion artwork? Where he replaces a lady's face or guts with a flower arangement. It's surprisingly realistic; Dali obviously was watching some Live Leak. But I mean Une Chien Andelou pretty much hits the nail on the head. I also really liked the one of marsupial centars.

Good post, I concur entirely. I hope it's obvious from what I write that most of the time I'm playing various characters on here and trying to make absurd, funny posts.

Please be nice to us.
